Abstract

Example communication methods and apparatus are described. One example communication method includes receiving indication information by a terminal device from a network device, where the indication information is used to indicate resource configuration information of a first uplink carrier and/or a second uplink carrier. The first uplink carrier and the second uplink carrier are different uplink carriers in a cell of the network device, and the first uplink carrier and the second uplink carrier are corresponding to one downlink carrier in the cell. The terminal device determines one uplink carrier from the at least one uplink carrier as a target carrier for performing random access based on the resource configuration information of the at least one uplink carrier.
