Abstract

A method includes: receiving a first reference signal group, and transmitting a first information block. The first information block is generated by measuring the first reference signal group. The first information block includes K channel quality indications corresponding to K first type values, respectively. A first channel quality indication is any channel quality indication in the K channel quality indications. The first channel quality indication indicates that in response to the first reference resource block being occupied by a first bit block and the first condition set being met, the first bit block is received by a first node with a transmission block error rate not exceeding the first threshold. The first condition set includes: a receiving quality indication of the first bit block is a first value, and the first value is the first type value corresponding to the first channel quality indication.
