Communication method and communication apparatus
View Patent ↗The present disclosure provides a communication method, including: receiving a Doppler parameter; and determining a time compensation amount for a signal based on the Doppler parameter. When the method is performed by a terminal device, the terminal device can receive the Doppler parameter from a satellite or a satellite measurement and control center. When the method is performed by a satellite, the satellite can receive the Doppler parameter from a satellite measurement and control center. Therefore, the apparatus performing the method does not need to calculate the Doppler parameter locally, thereby reducing the burden on the apparatus.
