A method and a user equipment for controlling multiple communication systems to implement communication are disclosed. The method includes: when a long term evolution LTE system module in a UE is about to enter a discontinuous reception DRX sleep state or to temporarily stop data transmission, sending, by the LTE system module, first indication information to another system module in the UE, where the first indication information is used for indicating, to the other system module, that the LTE system module enters the DRX sleep state and at least part of time during which the LTE system module is in the DRX sleep state, or the first indication information is used for indicating that the other system module is capable of performing data transmission and time during which the other system module is capable of performing data transmission.
