Abstract
A communication method and an apparatus are provided. The method includes: receiving configuration information from a first node or a third node, where the configuration information indicates time-frequency information of a system information block 1 (SIB1) of a distributed unit (DU) of the first node; and determining, based on the obtained time-frequency information of the SIB1 of the DU of the first node, an unavailable resource of a mobile termination (MT) function of the first node, where the first node is an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, the second node is a parent node of the first node, and the third node is a donor node. The method facilitates avoiding a resource conflict between the MT function and the DU of the IAB node.
