Example communication methods and apparatus that are applied to discrete narrowband communication information are described. One example communication method includes sending first indication information to a terminal by a network device. The first indication information includes a frequency channel number of a start sub-band in all discrete sub-bands of a serving cell in which the terminal is currently located, a bitmap representing whether each sub-band in a frequency band belongs to the serving cell, and a frequency spacing between sub-bands in the frequency band. The frequency band is a frequency band to which all the discrete sub-bands of the serving cell belong. The network device sends second indication information to the terminal, wherein the second indication information is used to indicate a sub-band available to the terminal in all the discrete sub-bands of the serving cell.

Communication method and communications apparatus

The present disclosure provide a wireless local area network discovery and selection method, device, and system, and a terminal. The method includes sending a registration request to a wireless local area network discovery and selection device when packet switched data is initiated to a cellular network. A notification message sent by the wireless local area network discovery and selection device is received. The notification message is sent when the wireless local area network discovery. The selection device determines that a wireless local area network needs to be used to offload the packet switched data in the cellular network. The notification message carries access parameter information.

Wireless local area network discovery and selection method, device, and system, and terminal

The present invention provides a network offloading method, a base station, and a terminal, which solves the problem of low user experience of a terminal. Specific steps may include: receiving access point state information of a wireless local area network; and if it is determined, according to stored state information of a network currently accessed by a terminal, that data offloading needs to be performed for the terminal, and it is determined, according to the access point state information, that the terminal is allowed to access the wireless local area network, sending offloading instruction information to the terminal, where the offloading instruction information includes identification information of the wireless local area network, so that the terminal makes the terminal access the wireless local area network according to the identification information of the wireless local area network, and performs data transmission using the wireless local area network.
