This application discloses communication methods and apparatus,
terminal equipment, and network equipment, relating to the field of communication technology. To avoid problems such as high
block error rate,
low resource efficiency, and poor adaptability caused by directly transmitting the first RRC message, this application proposes a method based on
payload segmentation and step-by-step transmission and feedback. In this method, the
payload of the first RRC message is segmented into a first segment and a second segment, and the first and second segments are transmitted separately, thus dividing the single transmission of the first RRC message into two transmissions. Then, the network first transmits the first message and then provides feedback on the first message through the second message, thereby completing an independent "transmission-feedback"
closed loop. Finally, based on the second message, this application provides the network with the latest channel information for deciding the optimal transmission strategy for the second segment, realizing dynamic adjustment of the transmission strategy and improving the reliability,
resource efficiency, and link adaptability of the second segment transmission.
