Cell measurement method and device

The invention discloses a cell measurement method and a cell measurement device. The cell measurement method comprises the following steps that: a terminal receives a measurement task, wherein the measurement task contains a measurement object; and the terminal selects first carrier frequency in a subsequent carrier frequency list contained in the measurement object as a carrier frequency of a cell, wherein the carrier frequency of the cell is used for acquiring a cell global identifier (CGI). With the cell measurement method and device of the invention adopted, the terminal exactly know to acquire corresponding physical cell global identifiers (CGI) on those carrier frequencies, and therefore, confusion can be avoided.
