Communication method and apparatus, network device, user equipment and storage medium

A communication method, performed by a User Equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message sent by a Master Node (MN), wherein the RRC reconfiguration message comprises at least one of the followings:
• at least one Secondary Node (SN) counter value or at least one set of SN counter values configured for each candidate Primary Secondary Cell (PSCell) and/or each candidate Secondary Cell Group (SCG);
• at least one SN counter value or at least one set of SN counter values configured for all candidate PSCells and/or all candidate SCGs of each SN;
• or
• at least one SN counter value or at least one set of SN counter values configured for all candidate PSCells and/or all candidate SCGs.

A network device, comprising a first processor and a first memory configured to store a computer program executable on the first processor,

• wherein the first processor is configured to execute the computer program to implement a communication method comprising:
• sending a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message to a User Equipment (UE), wherein the RRC reconfiguration message comprises at least one of the followings:
• at least one Secondary Node (SN) counter value or at least one set of SN counter values configured for each candidate Primary Secondary Cell (PSCell) and/or each candidate Secondary Cell Group (SCG);
• at least one SN counter value or at least one set of SN counter values configured for all candidate PSCells and/or all candidate SCGs of each SN;
• or
• at least one SN counter value or at least one set of SN counter values configured for all candidate PSCells and/or all candidate SCGs.
