Communication method and network device

A terminal device, comprising:

• a transceiver, configured to receive indication information from a network device, wherein the indication information indicates a resource corresponding to a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port, the resource corresponding to the first DMRS port is not used to carry data information, and the first DMRS port is in a plurality of DMRS ports configured by the network device;
• and
• a processor, configured to determine, based on the indication information, a first resource corresponding to a second DMRS port in the plurality of DMRS ports, wherein the second DMRS port is different from the first DMRS port, and the first resource is not used to transmit a DMRS;
• wherein
• the transceiver is further configured to receive or send, in a first time segment, data via the first resource;
• the transceiver is further configured to receive indication information of a second resource from the network device;
• the processor is further configured to determine, based on the indication information of the second resource, the second resource, wherein the second resource is different from resources corresponding to the plurality of DMRS ports of the network device;
• and
• the transceiver is further configured to receive, from the network device, second data information carried on the second resource, or sending, to the network device, fourth data information by using the second resource to carry the fourth data information.

A communication device, comprising:

• a processor, a transceiver, and a memory unit storing program instructions;
• wherein when executed by the processor, the program instructions cause the communication device to perform the following steps:
• receiving indication information from a network device, wherein the indication information indicates a resource corresponding to a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port, the resource corresponding to the first DMRS port is not used to carry data information, and the first DMRS port is in a plurality of DMRS ports configured by the network device;
• determining, based on the indication information, a first resource corresponding to a second DMRS port in the plurality of DMRS ports, wherein the second DMRS port is different from the first DMRS port, and the first resource is not used to transmit a DMRS;
• receiving or sending, by the communication device in a first time segment, data via the first resource;
• receiving indication information of a second resource from the network device;
• determining based on the indication information of the second resource, the second resource, wherein the second resource is different from resources corresponding to the plurality of DMRS ports of the network device;
• and
• receiving from the network device, second data information carried on the second resource, or sending, by the communication device to the network device, fourth data information by using the second resource to carry the fourth data information.

A non-transitory storage medium storing computer program codes which, when executed by a processor of a communication device, cause the communication device to perform the steps of:

• receiving indication information from a network device, wherein the indication information indicates a resource corresponding to a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port, the resource corresponding to the first DMRS port is not used to carry data information, and the first DMRS port is in a plurality of DMRS ports configured by the network device;
• determining, based on the indication information, a first resource corresponding to a second DMRS port in the plurality of DMRS ports, wherein the second DMRS port is different from the first DMRS port, and the first resource is not used to transmit a DMRS;
• receiving or sending, by the communication device in a first time segment, data via the first resource;
• receiving indication information of a second resource from the network device;
• determining based on the indication information of the second resource, the second resource, wherein the second resource is different from resources corresponding to the plurality of DMRS ports of the network device;
• and
• receiving from the network device, second data information carried on the second resource, or sending, by the communication device to the network device, fourth data information by using the second resource to carry the fourth data information.
