[0135] Optionally, the network device sends the first information according to the subcarrier spacing and / or symbol length included in the basic parameter set.

[0136] Optionally, when the subcarrier spacing is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and / or the symbol length is less than or equal to a second threshold value, the first information is sent, and the first information indicates no frequency hopping. If the subcarrier spacing is less than the first threshold value, and / or the symbol length is greater than the second threshold value, no information may be sent, or the first information may be sent, and the first information indicates frequency hopping.

[0137] Optionally, when the subcarrier spacing is less than a first threshold value, and / or the symbol length is greater than a second threshold value, the first information is sent, and the first information indicates frequency hopping.

If the first time length is greater than the time interval threshold, no information may be sent, or the first information may be sent to indicate frequency hopping.

[0141] Optionally, the frequency hopping time node mentioned in the embodiment of the present application may be a preset time node, or a time node configured by the network device to the terminal, that is, frequency hopping may be performed at the time node when certain conditions are met.

[0142] Optionally, the signal transmission time length before the frequency hopping time node can be the length from the frequency hopping time node to a fixed time point, or the time length from the frequency hopping time node to the starting point of the signal transmission, or the time length of the fixed frequency point used before the frequency hopping time node.

[0143] Optionally, the signal transmission time length after the frequency hopping time node can be the length from the frequency hopping time node to a fixed time point, or the time length from the frequency hopping time node to the end point of the signal transmission, or the time length of the fixed frequency point used after the frequency hopping time node continuously continuing.

If the first time length is less than or equal to the time interval threshold, no information may be sent, or the first information may be sent to indicate no frequency hopping.

[0145] Optionally, the network device selects the time interval threshold from a time interval threshold set.

[0146] Optionally, the time interval threshold is selected from the time interval threshold set according to a basic parameter set used by the terminal when transmitting the first signal.

[0147] Specifically, the network device may select the time interval threshold from the time interval thresholds according to the subcarrier spacing and / or symbol length used by the terminal when transmitting the first signal.

[0151] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, the network device sends first information instructing the terminal to frequency hop or not when transmitting the first signal based on a time interval threshold for frequency hopping when the terminal transmits the first signal, a basic parameter set used by the terminal when transmitting the first signal, and at least one of the configurations of a time slot or a micro-time slot. Frequency hopping or not can be selected according to the current communication scenario, so that the frequency hopping technology can adapt to the flexible transmission of the 5G system.

[0152] Figure 3 3 is a schematic flow chart of a wireless communication method 300 according to an embodiment of the present application. The method 300 includes at least part of the following contents.

[0153] In 310, a terminal receives first information sent by a network device, where the first information is used to instruct the terminal to perform frequency hopping when transmitting a first signal.

[0154] In 320, in response to the first information, the terminal determines whether to perform frequency hopping when performing the first signal transmission.

[0155] Optionally, the terminal determines whether to perform frequency hopping when transmitting the first signal based on a time interval threshold for frequency hopping when transmitting the first signal, a basic parameter set used by the terminal when transmitting the first signal, and one of a time slot or micro-time slot configuration.

[0156] Optionally, based on the subcarrier spacing and / or symbol length included in the basic parameter set, the terminal determines whether to perform frequency hopping when transmitting the first signal.

[0157] In one implementation, when the subcarrier spacing is greater than or equal to a first threshold, and / or the symbol length is less than or equal to a second threshold, the terminal determines not to perform frequency hopping when transmitting the first signal.

[0158] In one implementation, when the subcarrier spacing is smaller than a first threshold and / or the symbol length is larger than a second threshold, the terminal determines to perform frequency hopping when transmitting the first signal.

[0159] Optionally, when the length of the time slot or mini-time slot is greater than or equal to a third threshold, the terminal determines to perform frequency hopping when transmitting the first signal.

[0160] Optionally, when the length of the time slot or mini-time slot is less than a third threshold, the terminal determines not to perform frequency hopping when transmitting the first signal.

[0163] Optionally, the terminal sends second information to the network device, where the second information is used to indicate the time interval threshold.

[0164] Specifically, the terminal may indicate to the network device a time interval threshold that it may adopt, and the time interval threshold may be related to the capability of the terminal or to a basic parameter set.

[0165] It should be understood that some descriptions in method 200 may be applicable to method 300, for example, explanations of terms, how to determine whether a terminal needs frequency hopping, etc., which will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0166] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the first information sent by the network device to instruct the terminal to frequency hop when transmitting the first signal, the terminal can determine whether to frequency hop when transmitting the first signal, without having to frequency hop. Frequency hopping can be selected or not according to the current communication scenario, so that the frequency hopping technology can adapt to the flexible transmission of the 5G system.

[0167] It should be understood that method 300 describes the determination of whether to perform frequency hopping after the terminal receives information for instructing the terminal to perform frequency hopping. In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may also determine whether to perform frequency hopping after receiving information for instructing the terminal not to perform frequency hopping. The specific determination method can refer to the description of method 300, which will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0168] In a communication system, network equipment can send multiple downlink channels to a terminal at the same time, and the terminal can receive them simultaneously through multiple receiving antennas. However, if the number of transmitting power amplifiers of the terminal is less than the number of receiving antennas, the terminal cannot send the same number of uplink channels as downlink channels at the same time. In this case, if uplink and downlink reciprocity is required, the transmitting antenna needs to be switched.
