Abstract: A user equipment (UE) prioritizes searches and/or measurements of neighbor cells/frequencies based on a level of mobility of a UE. In one instance, the UE identifies a priority of a layer of a radio access technology (RAT) to be measured or searched and identifies a level of mobility of the UE. A sensor module of the UE may determine the level of mobility of the UE and generate an indication corresponding to the level of mobility of the UE. The UE prioritizes a periodicity of interlayer search and/or measurement based on the priority of the layer to be measured and the level of the mobility of the UE.

The UE then controls the communications based on the motion sensor and channel conditions experienced by the UE when the level of mobility is below the first threshold.

Abstract: A tapping control method and a terminal, which relate to the communications field and can avoid frequent automatic setting of the terminal caused by an unconscious operation of a user, thereby implementing accurate operation control on the terminal and improving a capability of the terminal to interact with the user. A specific solution is as follows. The terminal detects a tapping trigger signal within a preset frequency range by using a shock sensor; after the tapping trigger signal is detected, identifies a tapping action type corresponding to the tapping trigger signal; acquires a tapping response event that matches the identified tapping action type; and executes the tapping response event. The present disclosure can be used in a process of operation control on the terminal.
