Abstract: A communication method includes receiving a paging message, wherein the paging message comprises a first identifier. The first identifier is useable to identify a paged first terminal device. A bit length of the first identifier is less than a bit length of a second identifier. The second identifier is a 5th generation-system-temporary subscriber identity (5G-S-TMSI) or a radio network temporary identity (I-RNTI). The communication method further includes determining, based on the first identifier, that the first terminal device is paged.

Abstract: A terminal device receives a first system information change indication on a WUR link, and/or determines, on the WUR link, that a cell is changed, where the first system information change indication indicates that system information is changed. The terminal device receives the system information on an NR link if the system information is changed, before establishing or restoring a connection on the NR link. If the terminal device determines that the system information is not changed, the terminal device may not need to receive the system information. For example, the terminal device may directly establish or restore the connection on the NR link when the terminal device does not need to receive the system information.

Abstract: A communication method and device are provided. A first message is received from a base-station central unit, where the first message is associated with determining whether a to-be-paged terminal device supports a first grouping manner and/or determining a paging manner for the to-be-paged terminal device.

In this way, in a split architecture, the base-station distributed unit can also complete paging on the terminal device.

If CSI of the second frequency domain resource has been reported in a current discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, a current CSI report does not include CSI of the second frequency domain resource; otherwise, a CSI report that currently needs to be reported needs to include CSI of the second frequency domain resource. Alternatively, a terminal receives and measures a CSI-RS resource provided that the CSI-RS resource is within an active time of any frequency domain resource.
