Abstract
The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technologies, and discloses a communication method and apparatus. The method includes: A terminal device receives an identifier of a filtering protocol version from an access network device, and then sends first capability information of the terminal device to the access network device based on the filtering protocol version. In this method, the terminal device may report capability information based on the filtering protocol version sent by the access network device. Compared with a manner in which the terminal device directly reports the capability information, this method can effectively reduce a communication problem caused by mismatch between a protocol version supported by the terminal device and a protocol version supported by the access network device and/or a protocol version supported by a core network device.
