Abstract

This application provides a measurement reporting method and an apparatus. The method includes: receiving pilot measurement configuration information of a plurality of carriers, where the pilot measurement configuration information indicates a pilot association relationship of the plurality of carriers, and the pilot association relationship indicates that pilots of the plurality of carriers correspond to a same spatial domain transmit filter; performing measurement based on the pilot measurement configuration information, to obtain measurement report results of the plurality of carriers; and sending the measurement report results. The pilot association relationship of the plurality of carriers is configured for a terminal device, so that the terminal device may report, for the plurality of carriers, measurement results of the pilots corresponding to one or more same spatial domain transmit filters.
