Abstract

A channel information sending method, a channel information receiving method, and a terminal are provided. The channel information sending method includes: receiving a first downlink grant. The first downlink grant is used to indicate reporting of Channel State Information (CSI). The method further includes sending a CSI report on a target Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resource.
