Abstract
A cell search method and a communications apparatus are provided. The method includes the following: before searching for a cell, a terminal device may determine, with reference to historical access information of another terminal device, whether there is a cell at the location, and adjust, based on a determining result, a value of a search parameter used to search for a cell. For example, if there is a cell, the terminal device may adjust the search parameter to accelerate a search. If there is no cell, the terminal device may perform no search, or adjust the search parameter to reduce an unnecessary cell search performed by the terminal device, so that power consumption of the terminal device can be reduced.
