Abstract

A measurement method, a terminal, and a network-side device are provided. The measurement method performed by a terminal includes: performing a measurement operation on a first transmission node in Q transmission nodes in a case that a serving frequency of the terminal includes P transmission nodes, to obtain a first measurement result, where the Q transmission nodes are Q transmission nodes that allow measurement in the P transmission nodes; and sending a measurement report to a network-side device according to the first measurement result in a case that a measurement report triggering condition is met, where P is an integer greater than 1, and Q is a positive integer.
