Abstract

This application provides a method and a related communication apparatus applicable to the communication field. In the method, a network device receives a first notification message sent by a terminal device, where the first notification message indicates that the terminal device has completed training on a target model, and the first notification message includes a model name corresponding to the target model. The network device then determines policy information based on the uplink channel state information of the terminal device; and sends a lightweight indication message to the terminal device.
