It should be understood that the association relationship specifically means that both the first CSI configuration and the second CSI configuration may be used for multi-TRP transmission. The association relationship may be implemented in a plurality of manners. This is not limited in this embodiment of this application.
In one embodiment, the first channel state information configuration is the same as the second channel state information configuration.
Specifically, content of the first CSI configuration and the second CSI configuration may be totally the same. It should be understood that, that the first CSI configuration is the same as the second CSI configuration may mean that resources associated with the first CSI configuration and the second CSI configuration are totally the same, or may mean that the second CSI configuration is the first CSI configuration. If the second CSI configuration is the first CSI configuration, in a possible implementation, the first CSI configuration is further associated with the N2 CSI-IM resources, the N2 CSI-IM resources include a first-type CSI-IM resource and/or a second-type CSI-IM resource, the first-type CSI-IM resource is used to measure interference information in a multi-station joint transmission mechanism, and the second-type CSI-IM resource is used to measure interference information in a single-station transmission mechanism, where N2 is a positive integer.
