Abstract

A communication method performed by a terminal device is described. The method includes receiving a notification message from a network device. The notification message carries a target manner of an uplink waveform. The method further includes determining the target manner of an uplink waveform, and thereafter sending a message 3 with the target manner of the uplink waveform to the network device to perform an initial random access.
