Abstract
A communication method and apparatus communicating to a network architecture are provided. The network architecture includes a control unit and one or more service units. The control unit is connected to the one or more service units. The method implemented by a terminal device includes: receiving a first message from the control unit, wherein the first message includes common control information of the one or more service units; and establishing a data transmission channel with a first service unit in the one or more service units based on the first message, wherein the data transmission channel is used to transmit data between the terminal device and the first service unit. According to this application, complete decoupling of a control plane and a user plane may be implemented, thus the control plane and the user plane can be transmitted on different carriers, thereby improving flexibility of communicating in different scenarios.
