    Abstract: A communication method, a communications apparatus, and a device are described. The communication operation carried out by a terminal includes receiving BWP indication information sent by a network device. The BWP indication information instructs the terminal to activate a BWP and/or deactivate a BWP. The communication operation further includes sending BWP feedback information to the base station. The BWP feedback information indicates that the terminal successfully received the BWP indication information. In this way, in the event of a data transmission failure because the UE cannot receive or cannot correctly parse the BWP indication information, the UE and the base station communicating by using different BWPs can be avoided, thereby improving communication quality.

    Abstract: An inter-distributed-unit (distributed unit, DU) communication method and a related apparatus are provided. The method includes: A first DU receives data of a terminal from a central unit (central unit, CU). The first DU processes the data by using a media access control (media access control, MAC) entity scheduling function specific to the terminal, to obtain a physical layer transmission data stream. The first DU sends the physical layer transmission data stream to a second DU. In the method provided in this application, because a MAC entity of the first DU is used to uniformly schedule the physical layer transmission data stream, the first DU and the second DU do not need to exchange a large amount of layer 2 (layer 2, L2) parameter information, so that information transmission overheads can be reduced.

    Abstract: A communication method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: A terminal device sends first data to a network device through a first cell group in an activated state. The terminal device receives a first message from the network device, where the first message is used to deactivate the first cell group. The terminal device changes a state of the first cell group from the activated state to a deactivated state based on the first message of the network device. If the terminal device receives no success acknowledgment of the first data and/or there is second data that has not been transmitted in the first cell group, the terminal device retransmits the first data and/or sends the second data to the network device through a second cell group in an activated state.

    Abstract: This application provides a mobility management method and a communication apparatus. The method includes: A first DU receives a first measurement result reported by a terminal device, determines, based on the first measurement result, target beam information for the terminal device to perform mobility management and/or a target cell corresponding to the target beam information, notifies a CU of the target beam information and/or the target cell, and requests, through the CU, a second DU to confirm whether to accept the target beam information and/or the target cell. The first measurement result includes measurement results corresponding to a current serving cell of the terminal device and at least one non-serving cell of the terminal device.

    Abstract: A communication method and apparatus. The method may be applied to a 4G system, a 5G system, and/or a future communication system such as a 6G system. The method includes: a splitting protocol layer entity of a terminal device configures a first sequence number SN of a splitting protocol layer in a first splitting protocol layer data packet, and configures a second SN of the splitting protocol layer in a second splitting protocol layer data packet. The splitting protocol layer entity of the terminal device sends the first splitting protocol layer data packet to a first protocol layer entity corresponding to a first access network device, and sends the second splitting protocol layer data packet to a first protocol layer entity corresponding to a second access network device.

    Abstract: This application provides a time synchronization method, an access network device, a communication apparatus, a computer storage medium, and a communication system. The method includes: A first access network device obtains first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate that a first terminal has a requirement for receiving or sending an uplink time synchronization message, and/or the indication information is used to indicate a precision requirement for time synchronization between the first terminal and a wireless network. The first access network device performs time synchronization on the first terminal based on the first indication information. This can avoid a case in which a requirement on a synchronization error of a time sensitive network TSN in an uplink time synchronization scenario cannot be met due to an excessively large air interface synchronization error, so that synchronization between TSN devices is improved, and TSN performance is improved.

    Abstract: A communications method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: A first access network device sends a first message to a core network device, where the first message is used to indicate to suspend one or both of a first PDU session and a second PDU session. The first PDU session and the second PDU session are PDU sessions that are established as requested by a same terminal, and are used to transmit a duplicated data packet. According to the method, when a condition for implementing reliable transmission is not met, the core network device can be indicated to suspend the PDU session. In this way, a PDU session does not need to be re-established, and signaling overheads for establishing the PDU session are saved.

    Abstract: Example message transmission methods and apparatus are provided. One example method includes obtaining a first correspondence by a core network device, where the first correspondence includes a correspondence between target device information and first time sensitive networking (TSN) domain information. The target device information is used to identify a target device, and the first TSN domain information is used to identify a TSN domain to which a first TSN device belongs. The core network device receives a multicast message from a second TSN device, where the multicast message includes second TSN domain information which is used to identify a TSN domain to which the second TSN device belongs. The core network device sends the multicast message to the target device when determining, based on the second TSN domain information and the first correspondence, that the second TSN device and the first TSN device belong to a same TSN domain.
