Provided are a cell merging and splitting method and apparatus, and a base station. The method includes: receiving a cell merging instruction sent by a first cell and used for instructing merging of the first cell and a second cell; maintaining a cell parameter of the second cell and a cell parameter of the first cell according to the cell merging instruction; handing over UEs served by the second cell to a first shadow cell and synchronizing information of the handed over UEs with the first cell, where the first shadow cell has the cell parameter of the first cell and is maintained by the second cell; and after handing over all the UEs served by the second cell to the first shadow cell and determining that the information of all the handed over UEs is synchronized with the first cell, stopping maintaining the cell parameter of the second cell. The embodiments of the present invention ensure that as many UEs as possible achieve the best state and traffic effect.
