Abstract

An embodiment method includes: determining, by a terminal device, at least one parameter based on first MCS information after receiving the first MCS information, where the at least one parameter is used to indicate a first reference signal pattern, so that the terminal device sends an uplink reference signal based on the first reference signal pattern; and determining, by a network device, the at least one parameter based on the first MCS information, where the at least one parameter is used to indicate the first reference signal pattern, so that the network device receives the uplink reference signal based on the first reference signal pattern.

Claims (42)

1. A communication method, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal device, first signaling, wherein the first signaling comprises first modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information;

determining, by the terminal device, at least one parameter based on the first MCS information, wherein the at least one parameter indicates a first reference signal pattern, and the at least one parameter comprises a reference signal additional position, the reference signal additional position determined based on a correspondence between the first MCS information, reference signal sending period information, and the reference signal additional position; and

sending, by the terminal device, an uplink reference signal based on the first reference signal pattern.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining, by the terminal device, the at least one parameter based on the first MCS information comprises:

determining, by the terminal device, the at least one parameter based on the first MCS information and the reference signal sending period information.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the correspondence is a fourth correspondence that is predefined, or the fourth correspondence is configured using higher layer signaling, or the fourth correspondence is configured using downlink control information.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one parameter further comprises a reference signal type.

5. A communication method, comprising:

sending, by a network device, first signaling, wherein the first signaling comprises first modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information;

determining, by the network device, at least one parameter based on the first MCS information, wherein the at least one parameter indicates a first reference signal pattern, and the at least one parameter comprises a reference signal additional position, the reference signal additional position determined based on a correspondence between the first MCS information, reference signal sending period information, and the reference signal additional position; and

receiving, by the network device, an uplink reference signal based on the first reference signal pattern.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein determining, by the network device, the at least one parameter based on the first MCS information comprises:

determining, by the network device, the at least one parameter based on the first MCS information and the reference signal sending period information.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein

the correspondence is a fourth correspondence that is predefined, or the fourth correspondence is configured using higher layer signaling or the fourth correspondence is configured using downlink control information.

8. A communications apparatus, comprising:

one or more processors, and

at least one non-transitory memory configured to store program instructions;

wherein, when executed by the one or more processors, the program instructions cause the communications apparatus to:

receive first signaling, wherein the first signaling comprises first modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information;

determine at least one parameter based on the first MCS information, wherein the at least one parameter indicates a first reference signal pattern, and the at least one parameter comprises a reference signal additional position, the reference signal additional position determined based on a correspondence between the first MCS information, reference signal sending period information, and the reference signal additional position; and

send an uplink reference signal based on the first reference signal pattern.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein determining the at least one parameter based on the first MCS information comprises:

determining the at least one parameter based on the first MCS information and the reference signal sending period information.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein

the correspondence is a fourth correspondence that is predefined, or the fourth correspondence is configured by using higher layer signaling, or the fourth correspondence is configured by using downlink control information.

11. A communications apparatus, comprising:

one or more processors, and

at least one non-transitory memory configured to store program instructions;

wherein, when executed by the one or more processors, the program instructions cause the communications apparatus to:

send first signaling, wherein the first signaling comprises first modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information;

determine at least one parameter based on the first MCS information, wherein the at least one parameter indicates a first reference signal pattern, and the at least one parameter comprises a reference signal additional position, the reference signal additional position determined based on a correspondence between the first MCS information, reference signal sending period information, and the reference signal additional position; and

receive an uplink reference signal based on the first reference signal pattern.

12. The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein determining the at least one parameter based on the first MCS information comprises:

determining the at least one parameter based on the first MCS information and the reference signal sending period information.

13. The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein

the correspondence is a fourth correspondence that is predefined, or the fourth correspondence is configured using higher layer signaling, or the fourth correspondence is configured using downlink control information.

14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the correspondence is further based on a moving speed associated with the terminal device.

15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first signaling comprises downlink control information (DCI) comprising the first MCS information.
