Abstract
This application provides a gateway handover method and an apparatus, to ensure the reliability of a gateway handover of a terminal device and reduce hardware overheads in a gateway handover process. The terminal device receives a synchronization signal/PBCH (physical broadcast channel) block (SSB) from a network device through a service link. The SSB includes an SSB of a source gateway and an SSB of at least one candidate target gateway. The terminal device obtains a measurement value of channel quality corresponding to the SSB of the at least one candidate target gateway, and sends a measurement result to the network device. The network device forwards the measurement result to the source gateway, which determines, based on the measurement result, whether to hand over the terminal device from the source gateway to one of the at least one candidate target gateway.
