In some implementations, the method includes: determining a part of terminal devices to be handed over in a plurality of terminal devices in a staring area of a first beam; sending a first handover request message to a target satellite, where the first handover request message includes contexts of the part of terminal devices; and receiving a handover instruction sent by the target satellite based on the first handover request message, and sending the handover instruction to the part of terminal devices by using the first beam. The handover instruction includes handover parameters used for handing over the part of terminal devices. According to some implementations, the part of terminal devices in the plurality of terminal devices in the staring area may be handed over, so that a signaling storm can be avoided and communication performance can be improved.
