Abstract
A communication method and apparatus. A terminal device receives first information from a first network device to learn to disconnect, when the terminal device is handed over from a first cell managed by the first network device to a second cell managed by a second network device, a connection between the terminal device and the first cell after a receiving moment of a reference signal of the second cell is reached or after the reference signal of the second cell is received.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving first information from a first network device, wherein the first information indicates a terminal device to disconnect, when the terminal device is handed over from a first cell managed by the first network device to a second cell managed by a second network device, a connection between the terminal device and the first cell after a receiving moment of a reference signal of the second cell is reached;
- and
- disconnecting the connection between the terminal device and the first cell after the receiving moment of the reference signal of the second cell is reached.
A communication apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- one or more memories including computer instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the communication apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- receiving first information from a first network device, wherein the first information indicates the communication apparatus to disconnect, when the communication apparatus is handed over from a first cell managed by the first network device to a second cell managed by a second network device, a connection between the communication apparatus and the first cell after a receiving moment of a reference signal of the second cell is reached;
- and
- disconnecting the connection between the communication apparatus and the first cell after the receiving moment of the reference signal of the second cell is reached.
A first network device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- one or more memories including computer instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the first network device to perform operations comprising:
- sending first information to a terminal device, wherein the first information indicates the terminal device to disconnect, when the terminal device is handed over from a first cell managed by the first network device to a second cell managed by a second network device, a connection between the terminal device and the first cell after a receiving moment of a reference signal of the second cell is reached;
- and
- disconnecting the connection between the terminal device and the first cell.
