Embodiments of this application disclose a measurement method and a measurement apparatus, to perform RMTC measurement and DMTC measurement on an inter-frequency frequency. The method in the embodiments of this application includes: determining an idle component carrier; determining a RMTC measurement periodicity and a DMTC measurement periodicity of a first inter-frequency frequency for LAA; when the RMTC measurement periodicity and the DMTC measurement periodicity of the first inter-frequency frequency have a same time point, separately performing RMTC measurement on the first inter-frequency frequency by using the idle component carrier to obtain a first measurement result, and performing DMTC measurement on the first inter-frequency frequency to obtain a second measurement result; and sending the first measurement result and the second measurement result to a network device, where the first measurement result and the second measurement result are used to indicate the network device to schedule a resource.
