US 10,856,200 B2 · Reporting cell band information in a communication network

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a communication method and a communications device. The method includes: sending, by a base station, a message including measurement configuration to UE, where the measurement configuration is used to request the UE to report a cell global identifier of a cell; obtaining, by the base station, a measurement report reported by the UE, where the measurement report corresponds to the measurement configuration and includes the cell global identifier of the cell and band information of the cell; and performing, by the base station, cell handover based on the band information and the cell global identifier of the cell. By means of the present invention, the base station obtains complete and accurate band information of the cell, so that the base station can perform accurate handover decision, thereby avoiding handover failure.

A method for reporting cell information, comprising:

receiving, by an apparatus, a measurement configuration message from a network device, wherein the measurement configuration message instructs the apparatus to send a measurement report of one cell to the network device;
and
sending, by the apparatus, the measurement report of the one cell to the network device,
wherein the measurement report of the one cell comprises a cell global identifier of the one cell and frequency band information of the one cell,
wherein the frequency band information of the one cell comprises information of all frequency bands of the one cell, and the all frequency bands of the one cell comprise a first frequency band of the one cell and a list of one or more additional frequency bands of the one cell.
