Embodiments provide a communication method including performing global navigation satellite system measurement by using a first time interval. A terminal is configured with the first time interval for global navigation satellite system measurement. The terminal is configured with a second time interval for radio resource management measurement. The first time interval and the second time interval at least partially overlap. Performing radio resource management measurement by using a third time interval. A start time of the third time interval is later than a completion time of the global navigation satellite system measurement. Duration of the third time interval is the same as duration of the second time interval.
