AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the channel state measurement feedback process of carrier aggregation, the overhead of the terminal device measuring the channel state information reference signal is large, which may not be applicable to future communication scenarios.

Method used

The terminal device performs channel state measurements on M frequency domain resources and selectively reports the channel state measurement results on N frequency domain resources, where N is less than M. It uses configuration information to indicate which frequency domain resources meet preset conditions for measurement and feedback, thereby reducing redundancy.

Benefits of technology

It reduces the overhead of channel state measurement feedback, improves communication performance, and helps save energy in terminal devices.

Abstract

The present application belongs to the field of communications. Provided are a communication method and apparatus. In the method, a network device configures a terminal device to perform channel state measurement on M measurement resources among M frequency domain resources, where M is an integer greater than 1. A terminal device performs channel state measurement on the M measurement resources, and chooses to report some of the channel state measurement results, e.g., channel state measurement results obtained by means of measurement on N measurement resources among N frequency-domain resources, where N is a positive integer less than M. In this way, the overhead of channel state measurement feedback can be reduced, the communication performance can be improved, and the terminal device saving energy can be facilitated.
