Abstract
A communications method and apparatus are provided. A network device determines whether a first capability of a terminal device is less than or equal to a second capability of the terminal device. The first capability is a capability of the terminal device of working at a first frequency when the terminal device supports only a first radio access technology, and the second capability is a capability of the terminal device corresponding to the first frequency in a first frequency combination. When the first capability is less than or equal to the second capability, the network device sends a first message to the terminal device. The first message is used to indicate the terminal device to measure a second frequency, the first message does not include a configuration of a first measurement gap, and the first measurement gap is used to measure the second frequency.
