Abstract
This application provides a communication method and apparatus, to improve communication efficiency. The method includes: determining downlink signal quality; determining a downlink coverage enhancement CE level of a terminal device based on the downlink signal quality and a first CE level quality threshold; and determining an uplink CE level of the terminal device based on the downlink signal quality and a second CE level quality threshold, where the first CE level quality threshold is different from the second CE level quality threshold.
Claims20
A communication method, comprising:
- determining downlink signal quality;
- determining a downlink coverage enhancement level of a terminal device based on the downlink signal quality and a first coverage enhancement level quality threshold;
- and
- determining an uplink coverage enhancement level of the terminal device based on the downlink signal quality and a second coverage enhancement level quality threshold, wherein the first coverage enhancement level quality threshold is different from the second coverage enhancement level quality threshold.
A communication method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a network device, a downlink coverage enhancement level of a terminal device, wherein the downlink coverage enhancement level of the terminal device is determined based on downlink signal quality and a first coverage enhancement level quality threshold;
- and
- obtaining, by the network device, an uplink coverage enhancement level of the terminal device, wherein the uplink coverage enhancement level of the terminal device is determined based on the downlink signal quality and a second coverage enhancement level quality threshold, and the first coverage enhancement level quality threshold is different from the second coverage enhancement level quality threshold.
A communications apparatus, comprising at least one circuitry configured to:
- determine downlink signal quality;
- determine a downlink coverage enhancement level of a terminal device based on the downlink signal quality and a first coverage enhancement level quality threshold;
- and
- determine an uplink coverage enhancement level of the terminal device based on the downlink signal quality and a second coverage enhancement level quality threshold, wherein the first coverage enhancement level quality threshold is different from the second coverage enhancement level quality threshold.
