The present disclosure relates to a measurement relaxation mechanism-based communication method and apparatus, and a storage medium. The measurement relaxation mechanism-based communication method is applied to a terminal and comprises: determining measurement relaxation capability information, the measurement relaxation capability information being used for indicating the RRM measurement relaxation capability supported by the terminal. The present disclosure achieves the RRM measurement relaxation-based terminal capability determination. On the basis of the RRM measurement relaxation capability, the terminal can adapt to the capabilities thereof to perform RRM measurement relaxation flexibly, thereby providing more flexibility.
