Channel measurement and measurement result reporting method and device

Abstract

Embodiments provide a channel measurement and measurement result reporting method and device. According to the method, terminal equipment measures a channel of an unlicensed frequency band according to configuration information, wherein the terminal equipment is in an idle state. The terminal equipment transmits a measurement result of the unlicensed frequency band to network equipment. When the network equipment is required to configure the channel of the unlicensed frequency band to be a secondary carrier of the terminal equipment, the number of interaction signalings between the terminal equipment and the network equipment may be reduced, thereby reducing signaling overhead, and increasing an access rate and access efficiency of an unlicensed frequency band channel carrier.
