  • Publication number: 20210360657
    Abstract: This application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus. A terminal device receives indication information sent by a network device by using higher layer signaling, receives, based on the indication information, a downlink data channel that is sent by the network device and that carries control information, and sends an uplink channel to the network device based on the control information. In this process, a step in which the network device sends a downlink PDCCH to the terminal device and a step in which the network device sends an uplink PDCCH to the terminal device are omitted, and closed-loop service communication is implemented through only one downlink data channel and one uplink channel. There are few signaling-related steps, thereby greatly ensuring service reliability and reducing a latency.
