Abstract

A communication method includes receiving a configuration information set from a network device, selecting target configuration information from the configuration information set, sending first information to the network device, and sending uplink data to the network device based on the target configuration information. The first information is useable to indicate at least one of the target configuration information or configuration information other than the target configuration information in the configuration information set.

Claims (82)

1 . A communication method, comprising:

receiving a configuration information set from a network device;

selecting target configuration information from the configuration information set, wherein the selecting the target configuration information from the configuration information set comprises:

selecting the target configuration information from the configuration information set based on second information;

sending first information to the network device, wherein the first information is useable to indicate at least one of the target configuration information or configuration information other than the target configuration information in the configuration information set; and

sending uplink data to the network device based on the target configuration information;

wherein the method further comprises:

receiving the second information from the network device,

wherein the second information comprises at least one of:

channel state information,

reliability of the uplink data,

size information of the uplink data,

an arrival moment of the uplink data, or

a first moment of time; or

wherein the sending the first information to the network device comprises:

sending the first information to the network device in response to an arrival moment of the uplink data being before a first moment of time, wherein the first moment of time is a time point before at least a portion of configuration information in the configuration information set; or

sending the first information to the network device on a second time-frequency resource, wherein the second time-frequency resource is related to the target configuration information.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first information comprises a first time period, and is useable to indicate that the uplink data is to be sent to the network device within the first time period based on the target configuration information.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving downlink control information (DCI) from the network device, wherein the DCI is activated configuration information in the configuration information set; and

the selecting the target configuration information from the configuration information set comprises:

selecting the target configuration information from the activated configuration information in the configuration information set.

4 . A communication method, comprising:

sending a configuration information set to a terminal device;

receiving first information from the terminal device, wherein the first information is useable to indicate at least one of target configuration information or configuration information other than the target configuration information in the configuration information set, and the configuration information set comprises the target configuration information;

receiving uplink data from the terminal device based on the target configuration information; and

sending second information to the terminal device, wherein the second information is useable for the terminal device to select the target configuration information from the configuration information set,

wherein the second information comprises at least one of:

channel state information,

reliability of the uplink data,

size information of the uplink data,

an arrival moment of the uplink data, or

a first moment of time, and the first moment is a time point before at least a portion of configuration information in the configuration information set.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein

the first information comprises a first time period, and is useable to indicate that a network device is configured to receive the uplink data within the first time period.

6 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending downlink control information (DCI) to the terminal device, wherein the DCI is activated configuration information in the configuration information set, and

the activated configuration information is useable for the terminal device to select the target configuration information from the activated configuration information.

7 . A communication apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory configured to store non-transitory instructions, the at least one processor configured to execute the non-transitory instructions thereby causing the communication apparatus to perform operations comprising:

receiving a configuration information set from a network device;

selecting target configuration information from the configuration information set, wherein the selecting the target configuration information from the configuration information set comprises:

selecting the target configuration information from the configuration information set based on second information;

sending first information to the network device, wherein the first information is useable to indicate at least one of the target configuration information or configuration information other than the target configuration information in the configuration information set; and

sending uplink data to the network device based on the target configuration information;

wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving the second information from the network device,

wherein the second information comprises at least one of:

channel state information,

reliability of the uplink data,

size information of the uplink data,

an arrival moment of the uplink data, or

a first moment of time; or

wherein the sending the first information to the network device comprises:

sending the first information to the network device in response to an arrival moment of the uplink data being before a first moment of time, wherein the first moment of time is a time point before at least a portion of configuration information in the configuration information set; or

sending the first information to the network device on a second time-frequency resource, wherein the second time-frequency resource is related to the target configuration information.

8 . The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein

the first information comprises a first time period, and is useable to indicate that the uplink data is to be sent to the network device within the first time period based on the target configuration information.

9 . The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving downlink control information (DCI) from the network device, wherein the DCI is activated configuration information in the configuration information set; and

the selecting the target configuration information from the configuration information set comprises:

selecting the target configuration information from the activated configuration information in the configuration information set.

10 . A communication apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory configured to store non-transitory instructions, the at least one processor configured to execute the non-transitory instructions thereby causing the communication apparatus to perform operations comprising:

sending a configuration information set to a terminal device;

receiving first information from the terminal device, wherein the first information is useable to indicate at least one of target configuration information or configuration information other than the target configuration information in the configuration information set, and the configuration information set comprises the target configuration information;

receiving uplink data from the terminal device based on the target configuration information; and

sending second information to the terminal device, wherein the second information is useable for the terminal device to select the target configuration information from the configuration information set,

wherein the second information comprises at least one of:

channel state information,

reliability of the uplink data,

size information of the uplink data,

an arrival moment of the uplink data, or

a first moment of time, and the first moment is a time point before at least a portion of configuration information in the configuration information set.

11 . The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein
