Abstract

A communication method, and a communications apparatus. The method includes: a terminal device determines uplink information; when the uplink information is first feedback information, the terminal device determines a first uplink control channel resource corresponding to the first feedback information, and sends the first feedback information on the first uplink control channel resource; or when the uplink information includes A-CSI, the terminal device determines a second uplink control channel resource corresponding to the uplink information, and sends the uplink information on the second uplink control channel resource, where the first uplink control channel resource is different from the second uplink control channel resource. Therefore, a network device identifies, according to the control channel resource for the received uplink information, whether the uplink information includes the A-CSI, so that the uplink information can be correctly received without times of blind detection, and receiving complexity is low.
