Abstract
A communication method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: A source network device generates and sends a first message, where the first message is for handing over a terminal device from the source network device to a target network device, the first message includes first indication information, and the first indication information indicates to perform a random access-free process and/or a handover complete message-free process in a handover process. In this way, if cell jump occurs in a source cell, the terminal device may not perform a random access process and/or not send a handover complete message in a process of handover from the source cell to a target cell. This avoids uplink congestion of the target cell caused by simultaneous handover of a plurality of UEs to the target cell, effectively reduces signaling overheads, and improves network performance of a target base station.
