Abstract
A communication method and apparatus are provided, where the method includes: A first network device generates and sends a paging message to a second network device. The paging message is used to page a terminal device, the paging message includes first indication information, and the first indication information indicates that a paging range includes a non-terrestrial network NTN cell and/or a terrestrial network TN cell. By applying the foregoing technical solution, the network device may determine an appropriate paging area based on a type of the terminal device or capability information of the terminal device, to avoid sending the paging message in an area that is not supported by the terminal device, so that overheads of paging signaling are effectively reduced.
