    摘要: This application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus, so that a network device distinguishes between terminal devices in different communication areas based on time domain positions carrying random access preambles, to improve communication efficiency. In the method, a terminal device obtains a first SSB. The terminal device sends a random access preamble corresponding to the first SSB. The random access preamble is carried at a first time domain position. The first time domain position is associated with a timing offset value. The timing offset value is determined based on a round-trip delay between the network device and a first position in an area covered by the network device.

    摘要: A communication method and apparatus are provided, and relate to the field of wireless communication technologies, to resolve a problem in a conventional technology that communication quality during communication between a satellite and a communication apparatus cannot be ensured, and to ensure security of high-accuracy location information of the satellite. In the method, the communication apparatus may perform random access to the satellite based on first location information. The communication apparatus may perform uplink communication with the satellite based on obtained second location information. Accuracy of a location obtained based on the second location information is higher than accuracy of a location obtained based on the first location information. Based on this solution, required accuracy of location information of the satellite is different. In different processes of communicating with the satellite, the communication apparatus can obtain the location information and motion information of the satellite with different accuracy, and communicate with the satellite. Communication quality during the uplink communication performed by the communication apparatus with the satellite can be met, and the security of the high-accuracy location information of the satellite can be improved.

    摘要: This application discloses a method for determining a timing advance and a communication apparatus, to correctly determine a value of the timing advance in a scenario in which the timing advance is long. The method includes the following steps: A terminal receives a downlink signal from a network device; and determines a first reference moment of a signal period of the downlink signal, where the first reference moment may be a start receiving moment of the signal period. The terminal determines a first time interval between the start receiving moment and a start moment of a first period in which the terminal is located; determines, based on the first time interval, whether a start sending moment of the signal period is within the first period; and determines the start sending moment, where a period is a duration distributed at an equal interval on a time axis, and the first period is a duration. The terminal determines a timing advance based on the start receiving moment and the start sending moment; and sends an uplink signal to the network device based on the timing advance.

    摘要: Embodiments of this application provide a network switching method and an apparatus. A beam that currently provides a service for a terminal device is a first beam. The first beam is generated by a first network device. The first network device obtains user information of the terminal device, and further the first network device can obtain switching information based on the user information and the like, so that after the first network device sends the switching information to the terminal device, the terminal device can perform beam switching based on the switching information. In this beam switching, procedures such as measurement, reporting the user information, and receiving switched beams allocated by the network device, as in the conventional technology do not need to be performed. Therefore, signaling procedures and overheads of the network can be reduced, so that a switching response time can be reduced.
