Abstract
This application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus. In the method, a number of repetitions for a PUCCH is configured for a terminal device, so that the terminal device can repeatedly send uplink information through the PUCCH. This helps ensure successful sending of the uplink information, thereby improving communication quality of the terminal device. In addition, the number of repetitions for the PUCCH may be dynamically adjusted, so that an appropriate number of repetitions can be configured for the terminal device. This helps reduce power consumption of the terminal device.
Claims20
A communication method, comprising:
- receiving first downlink control information DCI;
- determining a first number of repetitions for a physical uplink control channel PUCCH based on the first DCI;
- receiving indication information;
- and
- determining a second number of repetitions for the PUCCH based on the indication information.
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:
- receive first downlink control information DCI;
- determine a first number of repetitions for a physical uplink control channel PUCCH based on the first DCI;
- receive indication information;
- and
- determine a second number of repetitions for the PUCCH based on the indication information.
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:
- send first downlink control information DCI, wherein the first DCI is used to determine a first number of repetitions for a physical uplink control channel PUCCH;
- and
- send indication information, wherein the indication information is used to determine a second number of repetitions for the PUCCH, and the second number of repetitions is different from the first number of repetitions.
