For example, when the central frequency point of the reference symbol for measurement of the target base station is inconsistent with the central frequency point of the reference symbol for measurement of the current service base station of the terminal, the measurement interval is determined to be started; when they are consistent, it is determined that the measurement interval does not need to be started.
