Terminal and the scan method thereof

摘要

A terminal and a scan method thereof are disclosed in the present invention. The method includes that: a terminal receiving, after accessing a network, a downlink channel descriptor message, and acquiring a scan triggering period table carried in the downlink channel descriptor message; and the terminal performing periodic scan according to the scan triggering period table. According to the technical solution of the present invention, the efficiency for the terminal scanning in different scenes can be effectively improved, and therefore the performance of the system is improved.
