Communication method and apparatus

A communication apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor, the programming instructions instructing the communication apparatus to perform operations comprising:
• generating temporary synchronization signal block burst (SSB) burst configuration information, wherein the temporary SSB burst configuration information comprises a periodicity or an offset for sending a temporary SSB burst in a secondary serving cell configured for a terminal device;
• and
• sending the temporary SSB burst configuration information to the terminal device served by the secondary serving cell, and sending the temporary SSB burst in the secondary serving cell based on the temporary SSB burst configuration information, wherein a temporary SSB comprised in the temporary SSB burst does not comprise a physical broadcast channel (PBCH).

A communication apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor, the programming instructions instructing the communication apparatus to perform operations comprising:
• receiving temporary synchronization signal block burst (SSB) burst configuration information sent by a network device, wherein the temporary SSB burst configuration information comprises a periodicity or an offset for sending a temporary SSB burst by the network device in a secondary serving cell configured for the communication apparatus;
• and
• activating the secondary serving cell based on the temporary SSB burst configuration information and based on a regular SSB burst and the temporary SSB burst sent by the network device in the secondary serving cell, wherein a temporary SSB comprised in the temporary SSB burst does not comprise a physical broadcast channel (PBCH).
