The invention relates to the technical field of
wireless communication, in particular to a switching control method and switching
control equipment, and aims to solve the problems that an existing switching mechanism can cause that the switching measurement process of a terminal is too frequent, the
energy consumption of the terminal is greatly increased, and the
power saving of the terminal is not facilitated. According to the embodiment of the invention, a source
satellite base station receives auxiliary information reported by a terminal; at least one candidate
satellite base station is determined according to the
satellite base station star
orbit diagram information of the current region and the auxiliary information; and a switching command is returned to the terminal according to theat least one candidate satellite base
station, so that the terminal determines a target satellite base
station to which the terminal needs to be switched according to the switching command, and switches from the source satellite base
station to the target satellite base station. The embodiment of the invention provides the switching process triggered by the source satellite base station decision,and the terminal does not need to frequently measure the current service base station and the adjacent base station, so that the switching process is simplified, and the
energy consumption of the terminal is reduced.
