AI summary

An information acquisition method, applied to a network device is provided. The method includes receiving first indication information sent by a first terminal device, in which the first indication information is configured to indicate to the network device that the first terminal device has recorded full duplex information. The recorded full duplex information may be information about the network device supporting a full duplex communication, which is measured and recorded based on a configuration requirement of the network device when the first terminal device is in an idle state.
