CELL IDENTIFICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a cell identification method and apparatus. The cell identification method includes: sending, by a first network node, first information to user equipment and a second network node, where the first information is used to instruct the user equipment and the second network node to perform interaction to determine second information, the second information is used to indicate a to-be-identified cell, and the to-be-identified cell is a cell of the second network node; and receiving, by the first network node, the second information from the user equipment or the second network node, and identifying the to-be-identified cell according to the second information. By applying the foregoing technical solutions, a cell can be accurately identified, power consumption of a second network node can be reduced, and interference to a system can be further reduced.

主权项

1. User equipment which is served by a first network node and a second network node in a wireless communication system, comprising:
a receiver, configured to receive first information from the first network node, wherein the first information is used to instruct the user equipment in interaction with the second network node to determine second information, the second information is used to indicate a to-be-identified cell, and the to-be-identified cell is a cell of the second network node; and a transmitter, configured to send the second information to the first network node to identify the to-be-identified cell.
