Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for cell changing in a heterogeneous network and relate to the field of communications technologies, with an aim to reduce power consumption of a user equipment effectively. The method for cell changing in a heterogeneous network includes: determining a movement state of a user equipment; determining a frequency priority order according to the determined movement state, wherein: when the movement state is a high movement state in which the number of cell changes in a specified time exceeds a first threshold, a priority of a frequency used by a cell with a wide coverage in the heterogeneous network is higher than a priority of a frequency used by a cell with a small coverage; otherwise, a priority of a frequency used by a cell with a wide coverage in the heterogeneous network is lower than a priority of a frequency used by a cell with a small coverage; performing a frequency measurement according to the determined frequency priority order; and performing a cell change according to the frequency priority order and a result of the frequency measurement. The embodiments of the present invention are applicable to mobile communications technologies. |
