The invention provides a communication method, a communication node, a storage medium and a program product. The method comprises the steps of determining a first
time domain reference position, determining a first
time domain length corresponding to N transmission units according to the first
time domain reference position, N being a positive integer, determining a time domain position of a
demodulation reference
signal according to the first time domain length, the N transmission units being capable of sharing the
demodulation reference
signal, effectively reducing the load of the
demodulation reference
signal, and improving the user experience. In the embodiment of the invention, the more reasonable time domain position of the demodulation reference signal is obtained according to the time domain length corresponding to the N transmission units, even if N is equal to 1, DMRS time domain position alignment of a plurality of transmission units or a plurality of
user equipment can be realized through the first time domain reference position,
interference management of the demodulation reference signal is facilitated, and demodulation performance is ensured.
