Abstract

The present disclosure relates to communication methods in a UCI-only scenario. One example method includes receiving downlink control information used to schedule a PUSCH, where the PUSCH includes a first frequency hopping resource and a second frequency hopping resource, and a time-domain start symbol of the first frequency hopping resource is before a time-domain start symbol of the second frequency hopping resource, and sending first UCI on the PUSCH, where the first UCI includes at least one of an HARQ-ACK, CSI-part1, or CSI-part2, where a quantity GCSI-part1(1) of coded bits that are of the CSI-part1 in the first UCI and that are mapped onto the first frequency hopping resource is a smaller one of a fourth value and a fifth value.
