Abstract
A handover method and a communication apparatus are provided. The method includes: A target access network device obtains a first message and information used for transmitting multicast data, where the first message is used for requesting to establish a resource for handing over a terminal device to the target access network device. The target access network device sends a second message, where the second message indicates the established resource on the target access network device; receives a first packet from a user plane network element, where the first packet corresponds to the information used for transmitting the multicast data; and sends the first packet to the terminal device. In this way, the terminal device is handed over from a source access network device to the target access network device when the terminal device receives the multicast data.
