Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method and a device for determining a target cell. The method includes: acquiring information about a candidate cell for a mobile terminal; and determining the candidate cell as a target cell for the mobile terminal if the candidate cell is a preferred cell determined according to cell statistic information, where the cell statistic information includes: specific information about a cell having served the mobile terminal and specific information about the mobile terminal in the cell having served the mobile terminal. According to the solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention, a proper target cell may be determined for a mobile terminal, thereby avoiding a large number of handovers and reselections and saving network resources.

A method for determining a target cell, comprising:
- acquiring information about a candidate cell for a mobile terminal;
- and
- determining the candidate cell as a target cell for the mobile terminal if the candidate cell is a preferred cell determined according to cell statistic information,
- wherein the cell statistic information comprises:
- information about a cell having served the mobile terminal and information about the mobile terminal in the cell having served the mobile terminal;
- wherein before the acquiring information about a candidate cell for a mobile terminal, the method further comprises:
- obtaining, by the mobile terminal, the cell statistic information;
- wherein the obtaining, by the mobile terminal, the cell statistic information comprises:
- recording, by the mobile terminal, the information about the cell having served the mobile terminal, and the information about the mobile terminal in the cell having served the mobile terminal.
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a first receiver configured to acquire information about a candidate cell;
- a processor configured to determine the candidate cell as a target cell if the candidate cell acquired by the first receiver is a preferred cell determined according to cell statistic information,
- wherein the cell statistic information comprises:
- specific information about a cell having served the mobile terminal and information about the mobile terminal in the cell having served the mobile terminal;
- a second receiver configured to obtain the cell statistic information;
- wherein the second receiver comprises a recording unit, configured to record the specific information about the cell having served the mobile terminal and the information about the mobile terminal in the cell having served the mobile terminal.
A network device, comprising:
- a first receiver configured to acquire information about a candidate cell for a mobile terminal;
- a processor configured to determine the candidate cell as a target cell for the mobile terminal if the candidate cell acquired by the first receiver is a preferred cell determined according to cell statistic information,
- wherein the cell statistic information comprises:
- information about a cell having served the mobile terminal and information about the mobile terminal in the cell having served the mobile terminal;
- a second receiver configured to obtain the information about the cell having served the mobile terminal and the information about the mobile terminal in the cell having served the mobile terminal, from a core network or an operation and maintenance system or in a call establishment process of the mobile terminal.
