Communication method and communications apparatus

A communication method, comprising:

• receiving configuration information of a discovery reference signal from a network device, wherein the discovery reference signal comprises one or more first signals and one or more second signals, the one or more first signals comprise at least a common signal block or a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS), and the configuration information of the discovery reference signal is indicative of at least whether the discovery reference signal comprises the one or more second signals, or indicative of at least a type of the one or more second signals comprised in the discovery reference signal;
• and
• receiving the discovery reference signal from the network device based on the configuration information of the discovery reference signal,
• wherein the one or more second signals comprise other system information (OSI) determined according to a predetermined rule.

A communication method, comprising:

• sending configuration information of a discovery reference signal to a terminal device, wherein the discovery reference signal comprises one or more first signals, and one or more second signals;
• the one or more first signals comprise at least a common signal block or a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS);
• and the configuration information of the discovery reference signal is indicative of at least whether the discovery reference signal comprises the one or more second signals, or indicative of at least a type of the one or more second signals comprised in the discovery reference signal;
• and
• sending the discovery reference signal to the terminal device based on the configuration information of the discovery reference signal,
• wherein the one or more second signals comprise other system information (OSI) determined according to a predetermined rule.
