Abstract

An information quantization method, a terminal device, and a network device are provided. The information quantization method includes determining a target-grouping quantization scheme. The target-grouping quantization scheme is configured for a terminal device to group a channel state information (CSI) feedback information, and quantize the CSI feedback information in each group according to a corresponding quantization mode of each group. At least two groups are defined to correspond to different quantization modes.
