Specifically, if the terminal device receives only the DCI 2 sent by the base station 2, a field (for example, a CSI request field) in the DCI 2 indicates the above CSI configuration, and the field further indicates, from two NZP CSI-RS resource configurations associated with the CSI, an ID of an NPZ CSI-RS resource configuration and an ID of a CSI-IM resource configuration that are used for reporting the CSI, for example, a CSI-RS resource configuration 2 and a CSI-IM resource configuration 2. In this case, the transmission mechanism set includes only single-base station transmission. The terminal device determines that the target transmission mechanism is single-base station transmission. In this case, as in Embodiment 1, the target CSI-IM resource is CSI-IM 3 in the CSI-IM configuration 2. Optionally, the terminal device does not need to know a base station from which the DCI 2 comes, and only needs to perform CSI measurement based on the CSI configuration triggered by the DCI 2 and the associated CSI-RS configuration and CSI-IM configuration.
3. The terminal device receives the DCI 1 of the base station 1 and the DCI 2 of the base station 2.
