Abstract
A communication method and a communication system. The method may include: A first network device generates a node identifier, where the node identifier includes a global part and a local part, and the global part is determined based on geographical location information of a region covered by a second network device in which a node is located, for example, the second network device may be a device in mobile edge computing (MEC), and the local part is determined based on identity information of a terminal device associated with the node. The first network device sends the node identifier to the terminal device. In embodiments of this application, the geographical location information is introduced into the node identifier, so that a node that is identified nearby in space can also be short-distance in a physical network, thereby reducing an end-to-end latency.
