Abstract
A communication method includes a communication apparatus that determines first information indicating that N consecutive time units are configured for sending a first message in a joint transmission manner. A receiving device that receives the first message performs joint channel estimation in the N bundled consecutive time units to obtain the first message, and when there are P unavailable time units in the N consecutive time units indicated by the first information, the communication apparatus sends the first message in the joint transmission manner in M consecutive time units different from the P unavailable time units.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining first information indicating that N consecutive time units are configured for sending a first message in a joint transmission manner, wherein N is an integer greater than 1;
- and
- sending or receiving the first message in M consecutive time units,
- wherein the N consecutive time units comprise P unavailable time units,
- wherein the M consecutive time units are a part of the N consecutive time units and do not comprise the P unavailable time units,
- wherein M is an integer greater than 1, and
- wherein P is an integer greater than 0.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store instruction;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the apparatus to:
- determine first information indicating that N consecutive time units are configured for sending a first message in a joint transmission manner, wherein N is an integer greater than 1;
- and
- send or receive the first message in M consecutive time units,
- wherein the N consecutive time units comprise P unavailable time units,
- wherein the M consecutive time units are a part of the N consecutive time units and do not comprise the P unavailable time units,
- wherein M is an integer greater than 1, and
- wherein P is an integer greater than 0.
A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions that are stored on a non-transitory storage medium and that, when executed by a processor, cause an apparatus to:
- determine first information indicating that N consecutive time units are configured for sending a first message in a joint transmission manner, wherein N is an integer greater than 1;
- and
- send or receive the first message in M consecutive time units,
- wherein the N consecutive time units comprise P unavailable time units,
- wherein the M consecutive time units are a part of the N consecutive time units and do not comprise the P unavailable time units,
- wherein M is an integer greater than 1, and
- wherein P is an integer greater than 0.
