1. A communication method, comprising:
receiving, by a terminal device, N pieces of first information in N separate transmissions, wherein Nis an integer greater than 1;
determining, by the terminal device, second information or transmission information of the second information based on at least a part of the N pieces of the first information, wherein each of the N pieces of the first information comprises M bits, and M is an integer greater than or equal to 1;
receiving, by the terminal device, a first system information;
receiving, by the terminal device, downlink control information (DCI) based on the first system information; and
determining, by the terminal device, transmission information of second system information based on the DCI, wherein the transmission information of the second system information comprises at least one of a quantity of repeated transmissions of the second system information, a quantity of repeated transmissions or continuous scheduling time of scheduling information of the second system information, frequency domain resource information of the second system information, or time domain resource information of the second system information, and wherein at least one of:
the frequency domain resource information comprises bandwidth part (BWP) information, wherein the BWP information indicates a BWP in which the second system information is located; or
the time domain resource information indicates at least one of the following information:
a time domain position of the second system information;
whether the second system information is continuously scheduled, periodically scheduled, or scheduled according to a preset rule in time domain; or
scheduling duration or a scheduling periodicity of the second system information in time domain.
