1. A communication method implemented by a terminal device or a chip in the terminal device, the communication method comprising:
receiving indication information;
determining, based on the indication information, not to perform dormancy behavior in a target secondary cell;
determining whether a bandwidth part (BWP) on which the terminal device currently works in the target secondary cell is dormant BWP or non-dormant BWP;
keeping, in the target secondary cell, working on the BWP on which the terminal device currently works when the BWP on which the terminal device currently works in the target secondary cell is non-dormant BWP; and
switching to a first BWP in the target secondary cell and working on the first BWP when the BWP on which the terminal device currently works in the target secondary cell is dormant BWP,
wherein the first BWP is non-dormant BWP in the target secondary cell.
