FIELD: communication technologies.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication method and device. The technical result is to increase the efficiency of using network resources, so that the terminal device receives the indicator information used by the network device to indicate the terminal device to operate in the idle BWP in the secondary cell, the terminal device can determine the specific BWP in which the terminal device should operate and perform the corresponding operation. The method includes: the network device generates the pointer information and sends the pointer information to the terminal device, where the pointer information is used to direct the terminal device to operate in a non-idle BWP in the first secondary cell. The terminal device is then allowed, according to the indicator information, to operate in the first BWP, where the first BWP is the non-dormant BWP in the first secondary cell. Thus, upon receiving the indicator information used by the network device to indicate the terminal device to operate in the idle BWP in the secondary cell, the terminal device can determine the specific BWP in which the terminal device should operate and operate in the corresponding BWP.
EFFECT: increased efficiency of using network resources.
