Abstract
The present invention discloses a carrier switching method, a base station, and user equipment, where the method includes: determining, according to carrier switching capability information of user equipment UE, a carrier switching policy according to which the UE performs carrier switching; and sending carrier switching indication information to the UE, where the carrier switching indication information is used for indicating the carrier switching policy, so that the UE performs carrier switching according to the carrier switching policy. In the carrier switching method, the base station and the user equipment according to embodiments of the present invention, the UE having no carrier aggregation capability is enabled to dynamically perform switching between at least two carriers, so that quality of service of a service of the UE can be improved, user experience can be improved, and system performance can be improved.
