The communications method includes: A terminal device determines a first codeword set, where the first codeword set includes a first codeword, the first codeword is a 4×1 matrix, and each element in the matrix is a non-zero element. | 2022-05-26 |
20220167200 | CELL MEASUREMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS - Example cell measurement methods and apparatus are described. One example method includes obtaining, by a first network device, a first paging parameter of a cell served by a second network device. The first paging parameter is used to indicate a first time domain position at which a terminal device monitors a paging message from the second network device. The first network device sends a reference signal based on the first paging parameter. A time domain position of the reference signal is determined based on the first time domain position. | 2022-05-26 |
