Abstract: A subframe configuration switching method and apparatus are provided to reduce an impact of subframe configuration switching on a service of a terminal. In the method, a base station determines that a subframe configuration of a cell needs to be changed from a first configuration to a second configuration, and notifies a terminal in the cell of the change in the subframe configuration of the cell. The base station sends the second configuration to the terminal when first duration that is after the notification expires. The base station makes the second configuration effective when second duration that is after the base station sends the second configuration expires. The base station does not perform initial transmission scheduling on the terminal in the cell within the first duration, and the base station does not schedule the terminal in the cell within the second duration.
