    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: A communication method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: receiving a first time difference from a second communication apparatus; determining a round trip time RTT based on the first time difference and a second time difference; and sending a second message to a terminal device, where the second message includes the RTT, an air interface propagation delay, or terminal device side timing information, a value of the air interface propagation delay is equal to half of a value of the RTT, and the terminal device side timing information is determined based on the air interface propagation delay. According to the method and the apparatus in embodiments of this application, high-precision timing between a network device and the terminal device in a CU-DU separation architecture can be implemented.

    Abstract: This application provides a method for configuring assistance information and a communications apparatus. A first network device sends a path switch request message to an access and mobility management function (AMF), where the path switch request message is used to request for switching least one radio bearer (RB) of a terminal device from a second network device to the first network device. The first network device receives a path switch request response message from the AMF. The first network device determines, based on the path switch request response message, first burst arrival time at which a downlink quality of service QoS flow arrives at an ingress of the first network device within a first periodicity, where the first burst arrival time is used for downlink scheduling.

    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a data transmission method and an apparatus. When more than two radio link control RLC entities are configured for one radio bearer RB, a secondary network device receives indication information from a master network device. The secondary network device may determine, based on the indication information, a master RLC entity associated with the radio bearer, to indicate, to a terminal device, RLC entities that need to be activated and deactivated.
