Wherein the candidate switching target cell is one of the candidate switching cells; n cells corresponding to the N cell identifications comprise alternative switching cells.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the network side device may send N handover commands to the terminal device through M radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) messages. That is, the network side device may send M RRC messages to the terminal device, where the M RRC messages include N handover commands. M is not greater than N.

For example, it is assumed that a handover command sent by the network side device is received, where the handover command includes a cell identifier of the cell 1. And cell 1 is an alternative handover cell. If the terminal equipment fails in cell handover or radio link, the terminal equipment will execute the cell selection process, and if the terminal equipment selects cell 1, the terminal equipment executes the handover command corresponding to cell 1 and switches to cell 1.
