AI summary

A communication method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: obtaining to-be-compressed data, where the to-be-compressed data includes first data; determining at least one first transform base based on a first data type of the first data; determining second data based on the at least one first transform base and the first data; and sending the second data to a first device. According to the method provided in this application, a unified compression framework based on a transform base is proposed for the to-be-compressed data. At least one first transform base can be flexibly determined based on a data type of the first data, so that the first data is compressed based on the at least one first transform base. This ensures compression performance, enhances compression efficiency, and reduces data transmission overheads.
