In a possible implementation, in this embodiment of this application, when the signal quality of the serving cell deteriorates, the terminal device may determine the target cell based on the configuration information sent by the first network device. This embodiment of this application can ensure a success rate of sending the configuration information when the first network device sends the configuration information to the terminal device, for example, the first network device sends the configuration information to the terminal device when link communication quality is relatively good. Further, the terminal device determines the target cell based on the configuration information, and performs random access to the determined target cell, to complete a handover procedure, thereby improving a handover success rate.
Optionally, the configuration information is used to configure a first measurement object and a handover condition threshold, where a measurement result of the first measurement object and the handover condition threshold are used to determine whether a trigger condition of a conditional handover is satisfied.
In step 220, that the terminal device determines a first target cell based on the configuration information includes: The terminal device determines a candidate target cell that satisfies the trigger condition as the first target cell based on the measurement result of the first measurement object and the handover condition threshold.
