  • Publication number: 20260322689
    Abstract: In a communication method, after a first communication apparatus sends first information to request a service, the first communication apparatus may receive data of the service from N functional entities, where the first information is used to determine the N functional entities that provide the service. In other words, the service requested by the first communication apparatus may be provided by the N functional entities. The N functional entities may be deployed on (and/or connected to) one or more communication apparatuses, that is, the data for the service requested by the first communication apparatus can be provided through the one or more communication apparatuses. Therefore, in a communication system, the one or more communication apparatuses can provide services based on requests of other communication apparatuses.
