Abstract
A method to transmit information includes: obtaining, by a terminal in a disconnected state, information about a current coverage class of the terminal; and sending, by the terminal, a first message to an access network device, where the first message carries information about a coverage class of the terminal. The terminal in the disconnected state actively reports the information about the coverage class, so that a network device learns of the information about the coverage class of the terminal in a timely manner. In this way, during communication, a communication limitation or communication resource waste caused by inconsistency between information about a coverage class of the terminal that is stored on a network side and information about an actual coverage class can be avoided, and network resources can be fully used.
