The invention discloses a communication method and related equipment. According to the method, on one hand,
terminal equipment can store related information such as a redirected LTE frequency point for falling back indicated by a network side, a frequency point corresponding to an NR
cell residing before falling back, a frequency point of an LTE
cell residing after falling back, a
cell ID and the like after falling back successfully; the
terminal equipment can measure the LTE frequency point corresponding to the LTE neighbor cell of the current resident NR cell and store the related information of the LTE frequency point before falling back. In the embodiment of the invention, the
terminal equipment can search whether a proper LTE cell exists or not based on the stored related information of the previous fallback success process and / or the measured LTE frequency point, if the terminal equipment finds the proper LTE cell, the terminal equipment accesses the LTE cell, otherwise, the terminal equipment tries to search other LTE frequency points based on other
modes. According to the method, the terminal equipment can more easily and quickly find the LTE cell with good signals and access the LTE cell.
