Abstract

A method and apparatus for determining a mobility state of a terminal is disclosed in embodiments of this invention, which relates to the technical field of wireless communication and is capable of accurately estimating a mobility state of a terminal in a complex network structure, configuring more appropriate network parameters for the terminal, optimizing mobility performance of the terminal and improving overall network performance. A method for determining a mobility state of a terminal is provided in an embodiment of this invention, including: calculating a total moving distance of a terminal in a predetermined period by using a distance estimation strategy; and determining a mobility state of the terminal according to the total moving distance. This invention is applicable to estimation of the terminal's mobility state in a homogeneous network and a heterogeneous network.
