Abstract

The present disclosure relates to communication methods and apparatus. On one example method, a terminal device obtains measurement results of N cells, where the N cells include M non-public network cells, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and where M is an integer greater than or equal to 0. The terminal device determines, based on the measurement results of the N cells and measurement result offset values corresponding to H first cells in the N cells, a target cell on which the terminal device is to camp, where H is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and where H≤N.

Claims (17)

1. A communication method, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal device, non-public network measurement configuration information from a network device, wherein the non-public network measurement configuration information is used by the terminal device to determine a cell to be measured, and wherein the non-public network measurement configuration information comprises a physical cell identifier (PCI) of a non-public network cell;

obtaining, by the terminal device, measurement results of N cells based on the non-public network measurement configuration information, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 1; and

determining, by the terminal device based on the measurement results of the N cells, a target cell on which the terminal device is to camp.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the non-public network measurement configuration information further comprises first indication information, and wherein the first indication information is used to indicate a manner in which the non-public network cell supports a non-public network service.

3. A communication apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor; and

one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:

receive non-public network measurement configuration information from a network device, wherein the non-public network measurement configuration information is used by the communication apparatus to determine a cell to be measured, and wherein the non-public network measurement configuration information comprises a physical cell identifier (PCI) of a non-public network cell;

obtain measurement results of N cells based on the non-public network measurement configuration information, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 1; and

determine, based on the measurement results of the N cells, a target cell on which the communication apparatus is to camp.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the non-public network measurement configuration information further comprises first indication information, and wherein the first indication information is used to indicate a manner in which the non-public network cell supports a non-public network service.

5. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

receive non-public network measurement configuration information from a network device, wherein the non-public network measurement configuration information is used by a terminal device to determine a cell to be measured, and wherein the non-public network measurement configuration information comprises a physical cell identifier (PCI) of a non-public network cell;

obtain measurement results of N cells based on the non-public network measurement configuration information, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 1; and

determine, based on the measurement results of the N cells, a target cell on which the terminal device is to camp.

6. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 5 , wherein the non-public network measurement configuration information further comprises first indication information, and wherein the first indication information is used to indicate a manner in which the non-public network cell supports a non-public network service.
