Method for distinguishing measurement object, base station and user equipment

A method for distinguishing a measurement object, the method being applied in a User Equipment (UE) and comprising:

• receiving a measurement configuration transmitted from a base station, wherein the measurement configuration comprises a measurement object configuration IE and a measurement report configuration IE for a neighboring cell needing to be measured by the UE, and the measurement object configuration IE and the measurement report configuration IE are used for a Radio Access Technology (RAT) provided in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol;
• obtaining a RAT type of the measurement configuration according to the measure object configuration Information Element (IE) or a combination of the measurement object configuration IE and the measurement report configuration IE;
• performing measurement to a measurement object indicated in the measurement configuration;
• transmitting, to the base station through a measurement result report IE, a channel quality measurement result of the neighboring cell indicated in the measurement configuration, in case that the channel quality measurement result satisfies a measurement report rule indicated by the measurement report configuration IE comprised in the measurement configuration.
