Abstract

The communication method according to the embodiments of this application is used to determine quality of service and/or charging control of a service flow of a terminal in a network that provides a service for a residential gateway, so as to ensure transmission quality of the service flow. A first control plane network element in a first network obtains a quality of service parameter and/or a charging policy of a service flow in the first network, where the service flow is a service flow in which a second terminal communicates with a second network by using a first terminal and a user plane network element in the first network; and the first control plane network element sends the quality of service parameter and/or the charging policy of the service flow to the user plane network element and/or the first terminal.
