Abstract
This disclosure provides a communication method and apparatus. In the method, the first network device receives a first position from a second network device, where the first position is a position of one or more subframes occupied by first information; determines a first offset and configures a multicast-broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) subframe, where the first offset is for determining a second position, the second position is a position obtained by offsetting the first position by the first offset, the first range is a position that supports configuration of the MBSFN subframe, and a position of the MBSFN subframe includes the second position; and sends the first offset and first MBSFN configuration information to the second network device. According to the method, the second network device may send the first information on the MBSFN subframe, to avoid time-frequency resource conflicts between the first information and a cell reference signal (CRS).
