Abstract  Abstract

This application relates to the field of communications technologies, and discloses a carrier switching and information sending method and apparatus, to switch an uplink carrier on which a terminal device performs uplink communication with a network device from a first uplink carrier to a second uplink carrier. The method includes: determining, by a terminal device, a first carrier and a second carrier, where the first carrier and the second carrier are of different frequencies; determining, by the terminal device, that a working state on the first carrier is a first working state, and that a working state on the second carrier is a second working state, where the first working state is that the terminal device is capable of sending a first signal, the second working state is that the terminal device is incapable of sending the first signal, and the first signal includes at least one of an uplink data signal and an uplink control signal; receiving, by the terminal device, first indication information from a network device; and determining, by the terminal device based on the first indication information, that the working state on the first carrier is the second working state, and that the working state on the second carrier is the first working state.
