This application provides a communication method and a communications apparatus. The method can improve a handover success rate.
According to a first aspect, a communication method is provided. The method includes the following.
A terminal device receives conditional handover configuration information from a first network device, where the first network device is a network device to which a serving cell belongs, and the serving cell is a cell currently accessed by the terminal device.
The terminal device determines a first target cell based on the conditional handover configuration information.
It should be understood that in this embodiment of this application, the conditional handover configuration information may be carried in a radio resource control (RRC) message.
It should be understood that, in this embodiment of this application, “conditional handover” means that a specific condition needs to be satisfied when the terminal device performs a handover. To be specific, the condition may be referred to as a trigger condition of the handover performed by the terminal device. The terminal device may determine, based on signal quality of a serving cell and signal quality of a neighboring cell, the first target cell that satisfies the trigger condition.
Optionally, after the terminal device determines the first target cell that satisfies the trigger condition, the method may further include: The terminal device performs a handover, that is, the terminal device is handed over from the serving cell to the first target cell. For example, the terminal device performs random access to the first target cell, to be handed over to the first target cell.
