Abstract

A transmission parameter obtaining method includes obtaining, by a terminal device, a transmission parameter of a network device, wherein the transmission parameter indicates location information of the network device. The method also includes determining, by the terminal device, at least one of an intra-frequency cell-reselection measurement threshold or an inter-frequency cell-reselection measurement threshold based on the transmission parameter. The method further includes determining, by the terminal device, a radio link failure threshold based on the transmission parameter. The method additionally includes determining, by the terminal device, at least one of an intra-frequency connected-state measurement threshold or an inter-frequency connected-state measurement threshold based on the transmission parameter.
