Abstract: Example communication methods and apparatus are described. One example communication method includes receiving indication information by a terminal device from a network device, where the indication information is used to indicate resource configuration information of a first uplink carrier and/or a second uplink carrier. The first uplink carrier and the second uplink carrier are different uplink carriers in a cell of the network device, and the first uplink carrier and the second uplink carrier are corresponding to one downlink carrier in the cell. The terminal device determines one uplink carrier from the at least one uplink carrier as a target carrier for performing random access based on the resource configuration information of the at least one uplink carrier.

Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and a communications apparatus. The method includes: receiving identification information of N beams of a target cell and random access channel configurations of M beams in the N beams, where N and M are positive integers; and determining a beam for accessing based on signal quality or signal strength of L beams in the N beams, the identification information of the N beams, and the random access channel configurations of the M beams, where L is a nonnegative integer.

Abstract: A base station configures, for a terminal, a contention-free random access resource for a beam failure recovery request. After determining that a beam failure has occurred, the terminal performs random access, and retains the contention-free random access resource after the random access succeeds, so that a beam failure recovery latency and signaling overheads can be reduced.

Abstract: The present application provides a data transmission method in a wireless communication system. A first security parameter indication is introduced into uplink data on a first bearer, and a base station can determine, based on the first security parameter indication in the uplink data, whether first security processing of the uplink data is performed using a first security parameter or a second security parameter, so as to select a corresponding security parameter to perform second security processing; and a second security parameter indication is introduced into downlink data, and UE can determine, based on the second security parameter indication in the downlink data, whether the first security processing of the data is performed using the first security parameter or the second security parameter, so as to select a corresponding security parameter to perform the second security processing.

Abstract: A transmission method, a base station, and a terminal. The method includes sending, by a source base station, a handover command to a terminal, where the handover command triggers a process of handing over the terminal from the source base station to a target base station, and the source base station maintains user data transmission with the terminal, and, in the handover process, when maintaining of the user data transmission between the source base station and the terminal is stopped, sending, by the source base station, a first status report to the terminal, where the first status report indicates, to the terminal, a status of receiving uplink data of the terminal by the source base station.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a data transmission method, user equipment, and an access network device. UE transmits air interface data to an access network device by using a serving cell set including at least two core serving cells that can independently serve the UE to transmit data, and initiates an RRC connection re-establishment process to the access network device only when detecting that all core serving cells in the serving cell set are unavailable. Data transmission is performed by using an available serving cell to the greatest extent. In other words, data transmission can be performed by using any available core serving cell, to reduce the dependence of data transmission between serving cells and minimize possibility of data transmission interruption, thereby improving data transmission robustness.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a notification method. In one example method, a first base station configures a first cell identity for a first cell. The first cell identity comprises a first identifier field and a second identifier field. A reserved bit in the second identifier field and the first identifier field identify the first base station. A remaining bit in the second identifier field identifies the first cell. The first base station notifies a second base station or a core network device of a part of the first cell identity that identifies the first base station.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an RRC connection method and an apparatus. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal, a deactivation indication message sent by a first base station, where the deactivation indication message carries indication information relating to mobility control of the terminal, and the first base station is a serving base station of the terminal; and releasing, by the terminal, an RRC connection according to the deactivation indication message, reserving context information of the terminal, and entering an inactive state. In this solution, the context information of the terminal does not need to be released, so that when entering a connected state again, the terminal does not need to obtain the context information again, thereby reducing signaling overheads.

By means of the present invention, the base station obtains complete and accurate band information of the cell, so that the base station can perform accurate handover decision, thereby avoiding handover failure.
