Patent ID: 11297557

Abstract:
This application provides a communication method and a communications apparatus. The communication method may includes receiving, by a first forwarding device in a mobile network, a first data packet, where the first data packet carries first data from a first terminal device, the first data packet includes a target field, information carried in the target field is used to determine target information. The target information may include information about at least one second terminal device or information about a first area, the second terminal device is a terminal device to which the first data needs to be sent, and the first area is an area to which the first data needs to be broadcast. The communications method may also include sending, by the first forwarding device, a second data packet based on the target information, where the second data packet carries the first data, so that the first forwarding device does not need to send the first data to a device such as a server configured to implement a routing and addressing function, thereby reducing a transmission latency.
