Optionally, the interface control plane message carries one of or a combination of the following information: identification information of the terminal device at the F1 interface (identification information of the terminal device on an F1AP CU side and identification information of the terminal device on an F1AP DU side, or independent identification information for the terminal device at the interface), a C-RNTI, context identification information of the terminal device (correlated with context information of the terminal device that is stored at the DU, for example, the context identification information of the terminal device may be a context ID of the terminal device or an ID in another format), a signaling radio bearer list (SRB list) and/or a data radio bearer list (DRB list) of the terminal device and corresponding protocol stack configurations, and F1 interface setup information (for example, an IP address on a CU side and a GTP-U TEID) corresponding to the DRB list.
S261. The first network node re-establishes the context information of the terminal device based on at least one of the identification information of the terminal device, the signaling radio bearer list of the terminal device, and the data radio bearer list of the terminal device.
S270. The first system sends second indication information to the terminal device, where the second indication information is used to indicate that the RRC connection of the terminal device is successfully resumed or fails to be resumed.
Alternatively, the first network node sends second indication information to the terminal device, where the second first indication information is used to indicate that the RRC connection of the terminal device is successfully resumed or fails to be resumed.
