It should be understood that the conditional handover configuration information carries the first measurement object, that is, the configuration information carries the first measurement object (for example, frequency information) instead of the measurement identifier. The terminal device can directly determine the measurement object based on information carried in the conditional handover configuration information, with no need to refer to the measurement configuration.
In this embodiment of this application, the conditional handover configuration information may be directly used to configure the first measurement object and the handover condition threshold, with no need to refer to specific content of the measurement configuration information, so that the terminal device can directly and quickly determine the measurement object that needs to be measured.
Further, because there is no need to refer to the measurement configuration information, the network device may not send the measurement configuration information. Therefore, this embodiment of this application can reduce signaling overheads.
With reference to the first aspect, in an implementation of the first aspect, the conditional handover configuration information further includes at least one of the following information: a measurement identifier associated with the first measurement object and the handover condition threshold, an event corresponding to the handover condition threshold, a hysteresis value, and a time to trigger TTT.
It should be understood that a measurement identifier included in the configuration information may overlap or may not overlap the measurement identifier included in the measurement configuration information. This embodiment of this application is not limited thereto.
