Claim:
1. A method for reporting cell information, the method comprising: determining, by a terminal, before a connection failure occurs on the terminal, that a signal quality of a neighboring cell of a source cell meets a preset signal quality threshold and that a preset time to trigger (TTT) duration does not expire; setting, by the terminal, in response to determining that the signal quality meets the preset signal quality threshold, an event information of the neighboring cell meeting a signal quality threshold; re-establishing, by the terminal, a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a cell after the connection failure occurs on the terminal; and sending, by the terminal, to a base station that controls the cell where the RRC connection is re-established, a cell identity of the neighboring cell of the source cell and the event information of the neighboring cell that is recorded by the terminal before the connection failure occurs, wherein the event information of the neighboring cell, that includes information of the last event of the neighboring cell before the connection failure occurs, is sent along with the cell identity of the neighboring cell.
