Abstract
A communication method, including receiving, by a terminal device, first information sent from a network device in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state, where the first information indicates to the terminal device to receive a multicast service in an RRC non-connected state, entering the RRC non-connected state, and receiving the multicast service in the RRC non-connected state via a first cell, wherein the first cell is a serving cell of the terminal device in the RRC connected state.
Claims20
A communication method, comprising:
- receiving, by a terminal device, first information sent from a network device in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state, wherein the first information indicates to the terminal device to receive a multicast service in an RRC non-connected state;
- entering the RRC non-connected state;
- and
- receiving the multicast service in the RRC non-connected state via a first cell, wherein the first cell is a serving cell of the terminal device in the RRC connected state.
A communication method, comprising:
- sending first information by a network device to a terminal device that is in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state, wherein the first information indicates to the terminal device to receive a multicast service in an RRC non-connected state, wherein the first information is associated with the terminal device receiving the multicast service in the RRC non-connected state via a first cell, and wherein the first cell is a camped cell of the terminal device in the RRC connected state.
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver unit, configured to receive first information from a network device in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state, wherein the first information indicates to a terminal device in which the communications apparatus is used to receive a multicast service in an RRC non-connected state;
- and
- a processing unit, configured to enter the RRC non-connected state, and to receive the multicast service in the RRC non-connected state via a first cell, wherein the first cell is a serving cell of the terminal device in the RRC connected state.
