INTER-FREQUENCY CELL MEASUREMENT METHOD AND TERMINAL DEVICE

Embodiments of this application provide an inter-frequency cell measurement method, a device, a chip, and a storage medium. The terminal device includes two antennas, one used as a main antenna and the other used as a diversity antenna. The method includes: receiving, by the terminal device, measurement configuration information sent by a network device, where the measurement configuration information is used to instruct the terminal device to measure at least one inter-frequency cell, and in a measurement period for measuring the at least one inter-frequency cell, measurement frequency for measuring the at least one inter-frequency cell by the terminal device is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1 and a measurement gap length for measuring the at least one inter-frequency cell by the terminal device each time is greater than first preset duration; and measuring, by the terminal device, the at least one inter-frequency cell based on the measurement configuration information by using the diversity antenna. With the embodiments of this application, when the terminal device measures the inter-frequency cell, efficiency of data transmission between the terminal device and a serving cell can be improved.
