Original Abstract Submitted
This application provides a communication method and apparatus. The method includes: A first access network element determines that a terminal device is in a suspended state and that the first access network element cannot serve the terminal device when the terminal device is recovered to a connected state. The first access network element sends a context of the terminal device to a second access network element. The context is used by the terminal device to be recovered to the connected state. In the method, when determining that the terminal device is in the suspended state and that the first access network element cannot subsequently serve the terminal device, the first access network element can actively send the context of the terminal device to the second access network element.
