What is claimed is:1. A communications method, comprising:generating, by a terminal device, a first media access control layer control element (MAC CE) and a first media access control service data unit (MAC SDU), wherein the first MAC CE comprises channel quality information of the terminal device and the first MAC SDU comprises a radio resource control (RRC) message;determining, by the terminal device based on a logical channel prioritization (LCP) priority of the first MAC CE, whether to multiplex the first MAC CE into a message 3, wherein determining whether to multiplex the first MAC CE into the message 3 comprises:determining whether a transport block size (TBS) needed by all MAC SDUs and all MAC CEs that have an LCP priority higher than the LCP priority of the first MAC CE is less than a TBS of the message 3 and a difference between the TBS needed by all MAC SDUs and all MAC CEs that have an LCP priority higher than the LCP priority of the first MAC CE and the TBS of the message 3 is greater than or equal to a TBS needed by the first MAC CE; andresponsive to determining to multiplex the first MAC CE into the message 3, sending, by the terminal device, the message 3 comprising the first MAC CE and the first MAC SDU to a network device,wherein the LCP priority of the first MAC SDU is higher than the LCP priority of the first MAC CE.2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the LCP priority of the first MAC CE is higher than an LCP priority of a second MAC CE, and the second MAC CE comprises a padding buffer status report (BSR).3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the LCP priority of the first MAC CE is lower than an LCP priority of a second media access control service data unit (MAC SDU), and the second MAC SDU comprises data of a logical channel.4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:receiving, by the terminal device, first indication information from the network device, wherein the first indication information indicates the terminal device to report the channel quality information.5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the terminal device has a capability of reporting the channel quality information.6. A communications apparatus, comprising:a processor; anda computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming comprising instructions to:generate a first media access control layer control element (MAC CE) and a first media access control service data unit (MAC SDU), wherein the first MAC CE comprises channel quality information of the communications apparatus, and the first MAC SDU comprises a radio resource control (RRC) message;determine, based on a logical channel prioritization (LCP) priority of the first MAC CE, whether to multiplex the first MAC CE into a message 3, wherein determining whether to multiplex the first MAC CE into the message 3 comprises:determining whether a transport block size (TBS) needed by all MAC SDUs and all MAC CEs that have an LCP priority higher than the LCP priority of the first MAC CE is less than a TBS of the message 3 and a difference between the TBS needed by all MAC SDUs and all MAC CEs that have an LCP priority higher than the LCP priority of the first MAC CE and the TBS of the message 3 is greater than or equal to a TBS needed by the first MAC CE; andresponsive to determining to multiplex the first MAC CE into the message 3, send the message 3 comprising the first MAC CE and the first MAC SDU to a network device,wherein the LCP priority of the first MAC SDU is higher than the LCP priority of the first MAC CE.7. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the LCP priority of the first MAC CE is higher than an LCP priority of a second MAC CE, and the second MAC CE comprises a padding buffer status report (BSR).8. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the LCP priority of the first MAC CE is lower than an LCP priority of a second media access control service data unit (MAC SDU), and the second MAC SDU comprises data of a logical channel.9. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the programming further comprises instructions to:receive first indication information from the network device, wherein the first indication information indicates the communications apparatus to report the channel quality information.10. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the communications apparatus has a capability of reporting the channel quality information.
