Description

Embodiments of this application relate to the communication field, and more specifically, to a communication method and a communication apparatus.

In a communication system, a network device needs to determine, based on downlink channel state information (CSI), downlink channel-related configuration information such as a resource, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), and precoding that are used to schedule a downlink data channel for a terminal device. The terminal device may calculate the downlink CSI by measuring a downlink reference signal, generate a CSI report, and feed back the CSI report to the network device.

After artificial intelligence (AI) is introduced into wireless communication, an AI-based CSI feedback mode emerges. An AI model has a stronger feature extraction capability, can compress channel information more effectively, reduce an information loss in a compression process, and ensure accuracy of recovered channel information.

Frequent packet losses of CSI feedback information severely affect feedback performance. Time-domain correlation-based CSI feedback is used as an example. An AI model on a terminal device side outputs CSI feedback information based on a current channel measurement result and state information; and an AI model on a network device side recovers channel information based on current CSI feedback information and state information. The state information on the terminal device side is determined based on a historical channel measurement result. The state information on the network device side is determined based on CSI feedback information received at a historical moment.
