Abstract
A switching method includes receiving, by a source network device, N pieces of data channel quality information. The N pieces of data channel quality information are in a one-to-one correspondence with N candidate network devices. Each of the N pieces of data channel quality information is used to indicate coverage quality of a data channel between a terminal device and a candidate network device corresponding to the data channel quality information. N is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The method also includes determining, by the source network device, based on the N pieces of data channel quality information, one of the N candidate network devices as a target network device to which the terminal device is to be switched from the source network device.
