Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and apparatus, a computer-readable medium, and an electronic device. The communication method includes: obtaining a total latency tolerance of uplink (UL) transmission and downlink (DL) transmission of a target service; generating a transmission latency indication message for the target service according to the total latency tolerance, the transmission latency indication message including quality of service (QOS) flow indication information of the UL transmission of the target service and QoS flow indication information of the DL transmission of the target service; and configuring the transmission latency indication message for a radio access network (RAN) entity, so as to enable the RAN entity to monitor a transmission latency of the target service according to the transmission latency indication message.
