Abstract

Example frequency compensation methods and apparatus are described. One example method includes determining first information and sending the first information by a network device to a terminal device, where the first information indicates a frequency compensation manner of an uplink signal of the terminal device or the first information indicates a configuration parameter of the terminal device. The terminal device receives the first information, and determines, based on the first information, the frequency compensation manner to be used to send the uplink signal. The terminal device performs frequency compensation for the uplink signal based on the frequency compensation manner.
