Abstract

This application discloses a channel state information feedback method and a communication apparatus. The method includes: determining channel state information based on a first codebook, and sending the channel state information. The first codebook is determined based on a channel represented by one or more spatial-frequency domain column vectors, and the one or more spatial-frequency domain column vectors indicate the channel in joint spatial-frequency domain. In this solution, the first codebook may be determined based on the channel represented by the one or more spatial-frequency domain column vectors. Because the one or more spatial-frequency domain column vectors may represent the channel in joint spatial-frequency domain, that is, the first codebook represents the channel based on joint spatial-frequency domain, a joint spatial-frequency domain feature may be fully used, to explore a sparse feature of the channel, thereby improving system performance.
