    Abstract: This application relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and discloses a communication method and an apparatus, to reduce power consumption caused by invalid listening of a terminal. First, a first device sends a first message to a second device, and the second device may send the first message from the first device to a third device. Then, the first device listens to a response message of the first message from the third device in a listening time window. The response message of the first message may be sent by the third device to the first device, or may be sent by the third device to the first device via the second device.

    Abstract: This application discloses a method. The method includes: A terminal device obtains one or more measurement results respectively corresponding to one or more reference signals, and determines a CEL of the terminal device based on the one or more measurement results and at least one of N thresholds, where the N thresholds are a threshold 0, a threshold 1, . . . , and a threshold (N−1) in descending order. If there is a measurement result greater than or equal to the threshold 0 in the one or more measurement results, the CEL of the terminal device is a CEL 0. If the one or more measurement results are less than a threshold i, and there is a measurement result greater than or equal to a threshold (i+1), the CEL of the terminal device is a CEL (i+1), and a value of i is an integer from 0 to (N−2).

    Abstract: Example data transmission methods and apparatus are described. One example method includes obtaining at least two signature sequences used to perform multiple access for at least two to-be-sent data packets by a user equipment. The user equipment processes the at least two data packets by respectively using corresponding signature sequences, to obtain at least two transmit sequences. The user equipment sends the at least two transmit sequences to a network device on a same time-frequency resource. Then the network device obtains the at least two signature sequences used by the user equipment to send the at least two transmit sequences, and separately detects a corresponding transmit sequence based on each signature sequence, to obtain the at least two data packets. The user equipment can transmit a plurality of data packets on a same time-frequency resource in a same slot.
