COMMUNICATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS

This application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus, to flexibly enable an MUSIM feature. This helps save network resources. The method includes: A terminal device determines first indication information based on states of a plurality of universal subscriber identity modules USIMs, where the first indication information indicates to enable or disable a paging enhancement function, and/or enable or disable a paging occasion collision avoidance function, and the terminal device includes the plurality of USIMs; and sends the first indication information to an access and mobility management function AMF. Therefore, the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the MUSIM feature, and notifies, by using the first indication information, the AMF of whether to enable or disable the MUSIM feature, so that the AMF performs a corresponding operation based on content indicated by the first indication information.
