Abstract

Example communication methods and communications apparatus are described. One example method includes determining power of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) by a terminal device. The terminal device sends the DMRS based on the determined power. In embodiments of this application, the power of the DMRS can be flexibly determined for different communication statuses.
