A method and device for selecting a camping cell are provided. The method includes that: terminal equipment measures licensed frequency bands and unlicensed frequency bands according to configuration information, the configuration information including channel signal quality measurement information and/or channel interference level measurement information, wherein the channel quality measurement information may include a Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) parameter and/or a Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ) parameter, and the channel interference level measurement information may include a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) parameter; and the terminal equipment determines a camping cell according to a result of measurement over the licensed frequency bands and the unlicensed frequency bands. Therefore, the terminal equipment may camp in a licensed frequency band cell or an unlicensed frequency band cell, and may also achieve optimal access performance between the licensed frequency bands and the unlicensed frequency bands.
