Communication method and apparatus

A communication method, wherein the method comprises:

• sending first indication information, wherein the first indication information indicates a first symbol set on which a terminal device receives a synchronization signal set, the synchronization signal set comprises at least one synchronization signal, the at least one synchronization signal comprises a first synchronization signal, and a first symbol subset in the first symbol set is used to receive the first synchronization signal;
• sending second indication information, wherein the second indication information indicates a second symbol set on which the terminal device sends a first uplink signal, and the second symbol set and the first symbol subset have M overlapping symbols in time;
• and
• sending the synchronization signal and skipping receiving the first uplink signal on the M symbols, or sending the first synchronization signal and receiving the first uplink signal on the M symbols depending on whether the M symbols are in a first time period.

A communication apparatus, comprising one or more processors, wherein when the one or more processors executing a computer program stored in a memory, the one or more processors executes operations comprising:

• receiving first indication information, wherein the first indication information indicates a first symbol set on which a terminal device receives a synchronization signal set, the synchronization signal set comprises at least one synchronization signal, the at least one synchronization signal comprises a first synchronization signal, and a first symbol subset in the first symbol set is used to receive the first synchronization signal;
• receiving second indication information, wherein the second indication information indicates a second symbol set on which the terminal device sends a first uplink signal, and the second symbol set and the first symbol subset have M overlapping symbols in time;
• and
• receiving the first synchronization signal on the M symbols or sending the first uplink signal on the M symbols depending on whether the M symbols are in a first time period.
