    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to time synchronization methods and apparatus. In one example method, a terminal receives a system information block (SIB) sent by a distributed unit (DU), where the SIB is generated by the DU, the SIB includes time information, and the time information indicates a moment corresponding to a boundary of a system frame number (SFN) at which an end boundary of a system information (SI) window for sending the SIB is located, or indicates a moment corresponding to a boundary of an SFN immediately after an end boundary of an SI window for sending the SIB. The UE processes the time information to obtain a time reference.

    Abstract: This application discloses a communication method and a communication apparatus. The method includes: A first access network device receives paging capability information from a core network device or a second access network device, determines a paging area based on the paging capability information, and sends a paging message to a terminal device in the determined paging area. The paging capability information indicates one or more of the following capabilities: a maximum transmit power supported by the terminal device on a first frequency band; a bandwidth configuration supported by the terminal device; whether the terminal device supports a frequency offset of 7.5 kHz; a type of the terminal device; or a number of Rx chains supported by the terminal device. In other words, the paging capability information indicates a plurality of paging capabilities of the terminal device.

    Abstract: Implementations of this application provide communications methods, devices, and chips. In an implementation, a method comprises: sending, by a centralized unit user plane (CU-UP) of an access network to a centralized unit control plane (CU-CP) of the access network, an interface setup request message to request to setup an E1 interface, the interface setup request message comprises an identity of a public land mobile network (PLMN) served by the CU-UP and a network slice identifier corresponding to the public land mobile network, wherein the network slice identifier identifies single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) or an S-NSSAI list; and sending, by the CU-CP, an interface setup response message to the CU-UP after receiving the interface setup request message.

    Abstract: Examples in this application disclose a communications system and apparatus. One example system includes a first access network device and a second access network device, and the first access network device sends, to the second access network device, indication information indicating a requirement of transmitting small data, receives, from the second access network device, a context of the terminal and an address of a tunnel used to transmit uplink data, indicates, based on the context, the terminal to enter a connected state, and sends uplink data of the terminal to the second access network device based on the address of the tunnel, then the second access network device sends the uplink data to a core network device.
