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 network device to perform operations comprising:
• generating temporary synchronization signal block burst SSB burst configuration information, wherein the temporary SSB burst configuration information comprises a periodicity and/or an offset 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 a 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 network device 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 and/or an offset 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 a 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.
