Communication method and apparatus

A communication method, wherein the method comprises:

• receiving first signaling from a network device, wherein the first signaling indicates a terminal device to initiate random access on a first random access occasion;
• and
• sending first indication information to the network device, wherein the first indication information indicates that a first terminal device cannot complete the random access or data transmission after the random access.

A communication apparatus, wherein the communication apparatus comprises at least one processor for executing programming instructions to enable the communication apparatus to perform operations comprising:

• sending first signaling, wherein the first signaling indicates a terminal device to initiate random access on a first random access occasion;
• and
• receiving first indication information from a first terminal device, wherein the first indication information indicates that the first terminal device cannot complete the random access or data transmission after the random access.
