  • Patent number: 11855740
    Abstract: In the method, a terminal device may send first indication information on a first uplink resource based on information about a spatial relation parameter, to indicate that a link failure occurs in a ith cell in N second cells. The information about the spatial relation parameter is information about a spatial relation parameter used to send a channel and/or a signal of a first cell, and the first uplink resource is an uplink resource of the first cell. Therefore, the network device does not need to configure a plurality of uplink resources that are associated with a plurality of reference signal resources of a second cell and that are used to indicate that a link failure occurs in the second cell, thereby reducing resource overheads.
