Abstract
This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and provides a communication method and apparatus. In the method, a multicast session management function network element receives a PCC rule corresponding to a first multicast group from a policy control function network element; obtains, based on the PCC rule, a target multicast QoS parameter corresponding to the first multicast group and used for configuring a QoS parameter corresponding to the first multicast group; and sends the target multicast QoS parameter to an access network device, so that the access network device obtains the target multicast QoS parameter, and configures, based on the target multicast QoS parameter, the QoS parameter corresponding to the first multicast group. In this way, a multicast QoS parameter is configured.
