A method includes: triggering, by a base station, resynchronization immediately after an uplink secondary carrier cell SCC is activated, where a triggering moment of the resynchronization is T1; and detecting, by the base station, whether a resynchronization feedback signal is received within a preset time range, and if not, triggering resynchronization, where a start moment of the preset time range is T1, an end moment of the preset time range is T2, and a difference between T2 and T1 is less than or equal to 30 milliseconds. The base station triggers resynchronization immediately after the uplink secondary carrier cell SCC is activated.
