A wireless communication method applied to a terminal, wherein the terminal is connected to an evolved universal terrestrial radio access, E-UTRA, cell, and the method comprises: receiving a first radio resource control, RRC, connection reconfiguration message, wherein the first RRC connection reconfiguration message comprises a new radio, NR, secondary cell group configuration information element; starting RRC connection establishment with an NR cell based on the first RRC connection reconfiguration message, wherein the NR cell is determined based on the NR secondary cell group configuration information element; starting a timer based on a quantity of RRC connection establishment failures of the NR cell, wherein the timer is set to first duration; receiving a second RRC connection reconfiguration message within the first duration, wherein the second RRC connection reconfiguration message comprises a measurement configuration information element, the measurement configuration information element carries a measurement object, and the measurement object comprises the NR cell and another cell; and sending a measurement report message within the first duration, wherein the measurement report message carries a measurement result of the another cell, but does not carry a measurement result of the NR cell; further comprising: disabling, within the first duration, the timer when signal quality of the NR cell is greater than a preset first threshold; and receiving the second RRC connection reconfiguration message, and sending a measurement report message that carries the measurement result of the NR cell after the timer is disabled. receiving a first radio resource control, RRC, connection reconfiguration message, wherein the first RRC connection reconfiguration message comprises a new radio, NR, secondary cell group configuration information element; starting RRC connection establishment with an NR cell based on the first RRC connection reconfiguration message, wherein the NR cell is determined based on the NR secondary cell group configuration information element; starting a timer based on a quantity of RRC connection establishment failures of the NR cell, wherein the timer is set to first duration; receiving a second RRC connection reconfiguration message within the first duration, wherein the second RRC connection reconfiguration message comprises a measurement configuration information element, the measurement configuration information element carries a measurement object, and the measurement object comprises the NR cell and another cell; and sending a measurement report message within the first duration, wherein the measurement report message carries a measurement result of the another cell, but does not carry a measurement result of the NR cell; further comprising: disabling, within the first duration, the timer when signal quality of the NR cell is greater than a preset first threshold; and receiving the second RRC connection reconfiguration message, and sending a measurement report message that carries the measurement result of the NR cell after the timer is disabled. disabling, within the first duration, the timer when signal quality of the NR cell is greater than a preset first threshold; and receiving the second RRC connection reconfiguration message, and sending a measurement report message that carries the measurement result of the NR cell after the timer is disabled. <EOS>
