Disclosed in the present invention is a method and device for
cell reselection for a terminal relating to the technical field of
wireless communications, and the method comprises the following steps: when performing
cell reselection according to the
signal quality of the serving
cell or the service performance, a terminal acquiring a first neighboring cell
list from the
system side; selecting neighboring cells satisfying a cell reselection condition from the first neighboring cell
list; if none of the neighboring cells in the first neighboring cell
list satisfies the cell reselection condition, the terminal performing active search, obtaining another neighboring cell satisfying the cell reselection condition, and camping on the such neighboring cell. The present invention enables a terminal to actively search an optimum cell existing around and camp on in the case of weak signals, and is beneficial to improve
wireless performance and user experience.
