Abstract
A communication method and a communications device are provided. In the method, a first base station receives a first message; the first base station determines, based on the first message, whether to allocate a new RNA to a terminal in an inactive state; and the first base station allocates a new RNA to the terminal in the inactive state after determining to allocate a new RNA to the terminal in the inactive state, so as to reduce signaling overheads; and/or the first base station receives a second message; the first base station determines a communication status of the terminal in the inactive state based on the second message; and after determining that the terminal needs to change the communication status, the first base station controls the terminal to change the communication status.
