determining, by a terminal device, first multicast service configuration information, wherein the first multicast service configuration information comprises one or more parameters associated with transmission of each multicast service of at least one multicast service, each parameter of the one or more parameters comprises bandwidth part (BWP) indication information, and each BWP indication information indicates a BWP used by a corresponding multicast service, wherein at least one parameter associated with at least a first multicast service of the at least one multicast service is determined from a same parameter as another multicast service of the at least one multicast service, wherein the one or more parameters comprises the same parameter, and wherein the one or more parameters further comprises at least one radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) to be reserved for the first multicast service, wherein the at least one RNTI is determined based on reservation response information from each network device of at least one second network device associated with a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells comprising at least two cells in which the first multicast service is to be sent and at least one neighboring cell selected in response to determining that the at least two cells are not neighbors; and
