## Abstract

This application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus. In this method, configuration parameters of a terminal device are classified into a basic configuration parameter (namely, a common parameter of a plurality of features) and a configuration parameter of a specific feature (namely, a specific parameter of the specific feature), so that parameter configuration is independently performed for different features, the different features are decoupled from each other, and the configuration parameter of the specific feature can be added or deleted. This effectively reduces complexity of the terminal device, ensures quick marketization of a terminal device of a related feature, and avoids a compatibility risk.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A communication method, applied to a first terminal device, comprising:
receiving first information, wherein the first information is used to configure a common parameter of N features of the first terminal device, the N features comprise a first feature, and N is an integer greater than 1;
receiving second information, wherein the second information is used to configure a specific parameter of the first feature; and
loading the first feature based on the first information and the second information.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:
receiving third information, wherein the third information indicates an identifier of the first feature; and
determining the first feature based on a mapping relationship and the identifier of the first feature, wherein the mapping relationship indicates a correspondence between identifiers of the N features and the N features.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:
receiving first indication information, wherein the first indication information indicates that the first feature has been activated on a network device; and/or
receiving second indication information, wherein the second indication information indicates the first terminal device to activate the first feature.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein receiving the second information comprises:
receiving a second message, wherein the second message comprises a first container, and the first container comprises the second information.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:
sending a third message, wherein the third message indicates that the first feature fails to be loaded.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:
receiving fourth information, wherein the fourth information is used to reconfigure the specific parameter of the first feature; and
modifying the first feature based on the first information and the fourth information, or based on the fourth information.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein before receiving the first information, the method further comprises:
receiving fifth information, wherein the fifth information is used to configure a system-level common parameter of L features, Lis a positive integer, and the L features comprise the first feature; and/or
receiving sixth information, wherein the sixth information is used to configure a system-level common parameter independent of a specific feature.

### Claim 8
