Manner 3: The network side device delivers a plurality of uplink transmission indications to the terminal, the uplink transmission indication carries one type of uplink signal, and the type of uplink signal is corresponding to one subframe format.
Manner 4: The network side device delivers a plurality of uplink transmission indications to the terminal, the uplink transmission indication carries one type of uplink signal, and the type of uplink signal is corresponding to one type of subframe format.
A specific form of the manner 1 in which the terminal determines the to-be-transmitted uplink signal by using the locally preconfigured correspondence between a subframe format and an uplink signal or by using the uplink transmission indication delivered by the network side is as follows:
When a first subframe format is as follows: NsymbUL=N1, and NRBGF is less than or equal to a preset value, an uplink signal corresponding to the first subframe format is of a type 1, that is, the terminal sends only the reference signal.
When a second subframe format is as follows: NsymbUL=N1, and NRBGF is greater than a preset value, an uplink signal corresponding to the second subframe format is of a type 2, that is, the terminal sends the reference signal and the control signal.
When a third subframe format to a seventh subframe format are respectively as follows: NsymbUL=N2, N3, N4, N5, or N6, uplink signals corresponding to the subframe formats are of the type 3, that is, the terminal sends the reference signal and the data signal.
