Original Abstract Submitted
This application provides a communication method and apparatus. The method includes: First user equipment receives from second user equipment first request information requesting the first user equipment to receive information from a second network for paging the second user equipment. In response to receiving the information, the first user equipment sends, to the second user equipment, information indicating the second user equipment to respond to paging of the second network. The second user equipment responds to the paging of the second network. In embodiments of this application, the first user equipment indicates the second user equipment to respond to the paging, so that the second user equipment does not monitor paging information all the time, thereby ensuring that the second user equipment does not miss the paging, reducing energy consumption of the second user equipment, and prolonging standby duration of the second user equipment.
