Abstract

This application provides a sidelink channel state information transmission method and a communication apparatus. The method and the apparatus may be applied to systems such as an internet of vehicles, V2X, and V2V. The method includes: a first terminal device sends modulation and coding scheme (MCS) table indication information, wherein the MCS table indication information indicates a MCS table corresponding to data sent by the first terminal device to a second terminal device, and the MCS table is associated with a resource pool for sending the data.
