Abstract: This application relates to a communication method and system. A first network element receives information about downlink data from a second network element, where the downlink data is from a core network device. The first network element is a first DU, and the second network element is a first CU; or the first network element is a first CU-CP, and the second network element is a first CU-UP.

For example, the first network element is a DU, and the downlink data from the core network device may reach a CU.
