Method and apparatus for transmitting information

An apparatus for transmitting information, being applicable to a terminal device and comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a transceiver;
• and
• a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• acquire, through the transceiver, first configuration information for redirection;
• search for a target cell based on the first configuration information;
• record reference information when failing to find a first target cell which matches the first configuration information, wherein the reference information comprises at least one of:
• the first configuration information, identity (ID) information of a second target cell found by the terminal device, location information of the terminal device, timestamp information corresponding to the recording, signal quality of a serving cell, and signal quality of a neighbor cell of the serving cell;
• and
• send, through the transceiver, the recorded reference information to a network side.

A method for transmitting information, applicable to a network side and comprising:

• transmitting first configuration information for redirection to a terminal device, wherein the first configuration information is used for the terminal device to search for a first target cell that matches the first configuration information;
• and
• receiving reference information from the terminal device, wherein the reference information is recorded at the terminal device when the terminal device fails to find the first target cell, wherein the reference information comprises at least one of:
• the first configuration information, identity (ID) information of a second target cell found by the terminal device, location information of the terminal device, timestamp information corresponding to the recording, signal quality of a serving cell, and signal quality of a neighbor cell of the serving cell.
