Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a service data transmission method and an apparatus, and relate to the communications field, so as to resolve a problem that spectrum utilization in the prior art is relatively low. The method includes: obtaining, by a base station, use permission of at least one first spectrum; broadcasting, by the base station, a service migration message to a terminal by using a second spectrum, where the service migration message is used to instruct the terminal to receive service data on the at least one first spectrum; and sending, by the base station, the service data to the terminal by using the at least one first spectrum. The embodiments of the present invention are applicable to a case in which a base station sends service data to a terminal.
