US 11,902,954 B2 · Communication method and apparatus, terminal, base station, and storage medium

Abstract

Disclosed are a communication method and apparatus, a terminal, a base station, and a storage medium, belonging to the technical field of communications. The method includes: receiving beam indication signaling sent by a base station, wherein the beam indication signaling is used for indicating a plurality of target beams or a target group of beams; determining, according to the beam indication signaling, the plurality of target beams or the target group of beams; and performing multi-beam based data transmission with the base station based on the plurality of target beams. Since a terminal determines a plurality of target beams based on the beam indication signaling, multi-beam based data transmission is performed between the terminal and the base station, thereby improving communication robustness.
