[0033] For ease of understanding of the embodiments of this application, the following content is first described.

[0034] In a current NR system, an AMC technology is used for both a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). This technology is used to determine a modulation mode and a coding rate based on channel conditions to improve the spectral efficiency of the system. A highest modulation order supported by the PDSCH in the existing NR system is 8, and a total of four modulation modes are included: quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 16QAM, 64QAM, and 256QAM. The amount of information transmitted by each modulation symbol in each modulation mode is as follows: 2 bits, 4 bits, 6 bits, and 8 bits.

[0035] Each modulation mode and each coding rate correspond to one modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level. The current NR version defines three MCS tables for the PDSCH. Content of the tables includes an MCS index, a modulation order, a target coding rate, and spectral efficiency, as shown in the following Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3. An MCS index 0 indicates a first MCS level, an MCS index 1 indicates a second MCS level, and so on. To be specific, each MCS index uniquely corresponds to one MCS level.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, a network-side device such as a base station notifies a terminal of a determined MCS level by using 5-bit indication information in downlink control information (DCI). Based on the MCS level indicated by the indication information received by using a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the terminal learns the MCS level used by the base station to transmit data on a PDSCH, and determines, based on correspondences in Table 1 to Table 3, a modulation order and a coding rate corresponding to the MCS level, to demodulate and decode corresponding data on the PDSCH.

[0040] In addition, the terminal needs to measure a downlink channel and feed back a channel quality indicator (CQI) to the base station. The CQI feedback is to send a recommended modulation mode and coding rate by using a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The base station determines a corresponding MCS for the uplink/downlink channel based on the CQI fed back by the terminal and a prediction algorithm. In the current NR version, the modulation mode and coding rate are quantified into 15 CQI levels, which are defined in the forms of 4-bit tables, that is, CQI tables, as shown in the following Table 4, Table 5, and Table 6, corresponding to the foregoing Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3. Modulation modes, coding rates, and spectral efficiency corresponding to different CQI levels are defined in Table 4 to Table 6. A CQI index 0 indicates a first CQI level, a CQI index 1 indicates a second CQI level, and so on.

[0047] An information transmission method and an information reception method provided in the embodiments of this application are hereinafter described in detail by using specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an information transmission method according to an embodiment of this application. The method is performed by a network-side device. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps.

[0049] Step 21: Determine a target MCS level corresponding to transmission of a terminal.

[0050] In this embodiment, the target MCS level corresponding to the transmission of the terminal may be understood as an MCS level to be used for downlink reception or uplink transmission of the terminal. The target MCS level is an MCS level in a first MCS table, and the first MCS table includes an MCS level corresponding to 1024QAM. To be specific, the first MCS table includes an MCS level corresponding to a modulation mode of a modulation order 10.

[0051] Optionally, the first MCS table includes at least an MCS index corresponding to the modulation mode of the modulation order 10, that is, 1024QAM, and a corresponding coding rate and spectral efficiency, and each MCS index uniquely corresponds to one MCS level.

[0052] Step 22: Send, to the terminal, indication information used to determine the target MCS level.

[0053] Optionally, the terminal may send, to the terminal by using radio resource control (RRC) signaling, the indication information used to determine the target MCS level, so that the terminal determines the target MCS level based on the indication information and the first MCS table.

[0054] In an implementation, the network-side device such as a base station may determine, based on the first MCS table, the target MCS level corresponding to the transmission of the terminal, such as an MCS level corresponding to a channel scheduled for the terminal, and notify the terminal, to instruct the terminal to determine, based on the MCS level, the modulation mode and coding rate to be used for the channel scheduled for the terminal.

[0055] In this embodiment of this application, the network-side device may determine the target MCS level corresponding to the transmission of the terminal, where the target MCS level is the MCS level in the first MCS table, and the first MCS table includes the MCS level corresponding to 1024QAM; and send, to the terminal, the indication information used to determine the target MCS level. This enables the corresponding communications system to support 1024QAM. Therefore, in comparison with the prior art, higher-order modulation is supported, and a throughput limitation problem in an application scenario with a high signal-to-noise ratio is resolved.

[0056] In this embodiment of this application, the network-side device may receive a target CQI from the terminal, where the target CQI is a CQI in a first CQI table, and the first CQI table includes a CQI level corresponding to 1024QAM. Then, based on the received CQI and the first MCS table, the network-side device may determine the target MCS level corresponding to the transmission of the terminal and notify the terminal, to instruct the terminal to determine, based on the MCS level, the modulation mode and coding rate to be used for downlink reception or uplink transmission of the terminal.

[0057] It should be noted that the foregoing target CQI may be determined by the terminal based on a channel measurement result and the first CQI table. The first CQI table includes at least a CQI index corresponding to the modulation mode of the modulation order 10, that is, 1024QAM, and the corresponding coding rate and spectral efficiency, and each CQI index uniquely corresponds to one CQI level.

[0058] In this embodiment of this application, the network-side device may indicate, by using higher layer signaling, for example, by using a higher layer parameter mcs-Table or other newly defined higher layer parameters, at least one MCS table to be used by the terminal. The indicated at least one MCS table includes at least one MCS table containing the MCS level corresponding to 1024QAM.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, if the indicated at least one MCS table is at least two first MCS tables, when indicating the first MCS table corresponding to the transmission of the terminal, RRC signaling may directly indicate selection of one of the at least two first MCS tables, or RRC signaling may configure at least two first MCS tables and then selection of one of the at least two first MCS tables is indicated by using a media access control control element (MAC CE) or DCI, or selection of one of the at least two first MCS tables is indicated by using different radio network temporary identifiers (RNTI) for scrambling DCI.

[0060] For example, if the indicated at least one MCS table is two MCS tables containing MCS levels corresponding to 1024QAM, that is, first MCS tables, RRC signaling may directly indicate selection of one of the at least two 1024QAM MCS tables, or RRC signaling may configure the two 1024QAM MCS tables and then selection of one of the two 1024QAM MCS tables is indicated by using a MAC CE or DCI, or selection of one of the two 1024QAM MCS tables is indicated by using different RNTIs for scrambling.

[0061] At least one MCS entry is different between different 1024QAM MCS tables, that is, different first MCS tables. For example, if the indicated at least one MCS table includes two first MCS tables, that is, MCS table 1 and MCS table 2, a difference between the MCS table 1 and the MCS table 2 may be: the MCS table 2 is an MCS table having an MCS entry with a modulation mode of 256QAM, a target coding rate of 948, and spectral efficiency of 7.4063 to replace an MCS entry with a modulation mode of 1024QAM, a target coding rate of 758/758.5/759, and spectral efficiency of 7.4023/7.4072/7.4121 in the MCS table 1.

[0062] Optionally, in this embodiment of this application, the network-side device may send first indication information to the terminal, where the first indication information is used to indicate a first MCS table to be used by the terminal, and the first indication information may be sent by using RRC signaling.

[0063] For example, the network-side device indicates, by using RRC signaling, the first MCS table to be used by the terminal. The first MCS table may be a 5-bit table, that is, a table with 32 entries, or a 6-bit table, that is, a table with 64 entries.

[0064] Optionally, in this embodiment of this application, the network-side device may send second indication information and third indication information to the terminal. The second indication information is used to indicate at least two first MCS tables configured for the terminal; and the third indication information is used to indicate a first MCS table to be selected from the at least two first MCS tables for use by the terminal. The second indication information may be sent by using RRC signaling. The third indication information may be sent by using a MAC CE or DCI.

[0065] For example, the network-side device may indicate, by using RRC signaling, a plurality of first MCS tables to be used by the terminal, including a 5-bit table and a 6-bit table, and further indicate, by using a MAC CE, DCI, or an RNTI for scrambling DCI, the 5-bit table or the 6-bit table to be used.

[0066] For another example, the network-side device may indicate, by using RRC signaling, a plurality of first MCS tables to be used by the terminal, including 5-bit tables, and further indicate, by using a MAC CE, DCI, or an RNTI for scrambling DCI, one of the plurality of 5-bit tables to be used. For example, if two first MCS tables indicated by using RRC signaling are 5-bit tables and a first MCS table to be used is further indicated by using DCI, 5-bit information may be used to indicate an MCS level corresponding to the transmission of the terminal and 1-bit information may be used to indicate a 5-bit MCS table corresponding to the MCS level.

[0067] In this embodiment of this application, the network-side device may indicate, by using higher layer signaling, for example, by using a higher layer parameter cqi-Table or other newly defined higher layer parameters, at least one CQI table to be used by the terminal for CQI feedback. The indicated at least one CQI table includes at least one CQI table containing the CQI level corresponding to 1024QAM.

[0068] In an optional embodiment, if the indicated at least one CQI table is at least two first CQI tables, when indicating the first CQI table corresponding to the transmission of the terminal, RRC signaling may directly indicate selection of one of the at least two first CQI tables, or RRC signaling may configure at least two first CQI tables and then selection of one of the at least two first CQI tables is indicated by using a MAC CE or DCI, or selection of one of the at least two first CQI tables is indicated by using different RNTIs for scrambling DCI.

[0069] For example, if the indicated at least one CQI table is two CQI tables containing CQI levels corresponding to 1024QAM, that is, first CQI tables, RRC signaling may directly indicate selection of one of the at least two 1024QAM CQI tables, or RRC signaling may configure the two 1024QAM CQI tables and then selection of one of the two 1024QAM CQI tables is indicated by using a MAC CE or DCI, or selection of one of the two 1024QAM CQI tables is indicated by using different RNTIs for scrambling.

[0070] At least one CQI entry is different between different 1024QAM CQI tables, that is, different first CQI tables. For example, if the indicated at least one CQI table includes two first CQI tables, that is, CQI table 1 and CQI table 2, a difference between the CQI table 1 and the CQI table 2 may be: the CQI table 2 is a CQI table having a CQI entry with a modulation mode of 256QAM, a target coding rate of 948, and spectral efficiency of 7.4063 to replace a CQI entry with a modulation mode of 1024QAM, a target coding rate of 758/758.5/759, and spectral efficiency of 7.4023/7.4072/7.4121 in the CQI table 1.

[0071] Optionally, in this embodiment of this application, the network-side device may send fourth indication information to the terminal, where the fourth indication information is used to indicate a first CQI table to be used by the terminal for CQI feedback; and the fourth indication information may be sent by using RRC signaling.

[0072] Optionally, in this embodiment of this application, the network-side device may send fifth indication information and sixth indication information to the terminal. The fifth indication information is used to indicate at least two first CQI tables configured for the terminal; and the sixth indication information is used to indicate a first CQI table to be selected from the at least two first CQI tables for CQI feedback by the terminal. The fifth indication information may be sent by using RRC signaling; and the sixth indication information may be sent by using a MAC CE or DCI.

[0073] In this embodiment of this application, optionally, the first MCS table may be determined according to at least one of the following design principles:

• • [0074] (1) reserving an existing coding rate and spectral efficiency in an existing 1024QAM CQI table; for example, reserving an existing coding rate and spectral efficiency in a 1024QAM CQI table of an NR system;

  • [0080] (7) a relationship between spectral efficiency and a target coding rate satisfying the following equation: spectral efficiency=target coding rate/1024*modulation order.

[0081] Optionally, the first CQI table may be determined according to at least one of the following design principles:

  • [0085] (4) in presence of a decimal fraction in a coding rate, using a first algorithm to process the coding rate, where the first algorithm may include any one of the following: rounding up, rounding down, rounding off, and retaining one decimal place;

  • [0087] (6) a relationship between spectral efficiency and a target coding rate satisfying the following equation: spectral efficiency=target coding rate/1024*modulation order.

[0223] FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an information reception method according to an embodiment of this application. The method is performed by a terminal. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes the following steps.

[0224] Step 31: Receive, from a network-side device, indication information used to determine a target MCS level.

[0225] The target MCS level is an MCS level in a first MCS table, and the first MCS table includes an MCS level corresponding to 1024QAM.

[0226] Optionally, the first MCS table includes at least an MCS index corresponding to a modulation mode of a modulation order 10, that is, 1024QAM, and a corresponding coding rate and spectral efficiency, and each MCS index uniquely corresponds to one MCS level.

[0227] Step 32: Determine the target MCS level based on the indication information.

[0228] In an implementation, the network-side device such as a base station may determine, based on the first MCS table, the target MCS level corresponding to transmission of the terminal, such as an MCS level corresponding to a channel scheduled for the terminal, and notify the terminal, to instruct the terminal to determine, based on the MCS level, the modulation mode and coding rate to be used for the channel scheduled for the terminal.

[0229] In this embodiment of this application, the terminal may receive, from the network-side device, the indication information used to determine the target MCS level, where the target MCS level is the MCS level in the first MCS table, and the first MCS table includes the MCS level corresponding to 1024QAM; and determine the target MCS level based on the indication information. This enables the corresponding communications system to support 1024QAM. Therefore, in comparison with the prior art, higher-order modulation is supported, and a throughput limitation problem in an application scenario with a high signal-to-noise ratio is resolved.

[0230] Optionally, the method further includes:

• • [0231] the terminal sends a target CQI to the network-side device, where the target CQI is a CQI in a first CQI table, and the first CQI table includes a CQI level corresponding to 1024QAM.

[0232] Optionally, the method further includes:

• • [0233] the terminal receives first indication information from the network-side device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a first MCS table to be used by the terminal; and the first indication information is sent by using RRC signaling.

[0234] Optionally, the method further includes:

• • [0235] the terminal receives second indication information and third indication information from the network-side device, where
  • [0236] the second indication information is used to indicate at least two first MCS tables configured for the terminal; and the third indication information is used to indicate a first MCS table to be selected from the at least two first MCS tables for use by the terminal; and the second indication information is sent by using RRC signaling; and the third indication information is sent by using a MAC CE or DCI.

[0237] Optionally, the method further includes:

• • [0238] the terminal receives fourth indication information from the network-side device, where the fourth indication information is used to indicate a first CQI table to be used by the terminal for CQI feedback; and the fourth indication information is sent by using RRC signaling.

[0239] Optionally, the method further includes:

• • [0240] the terminal receives fifth indication information and sixth indication information from the network-side device, where
  • [0241] the fifth indication information is used to indicate at least two first CQI tables configured for the terminal; and the sixth indication information is used to indicate a first CQI table to be selected from the at least two first CQI tables for CQI feedback by the terminal; the fifth indication information is sent by using RRC signaling; and the sixth indication information is sent by using a MAC CE or DCI.

[0242] It should be noted that for specific forms of the first MCS table and the first CQI table in this embodiment of this application, reference may be made to the foregoing embodiment in FIG. 2. Details are not described herein again.

[0243] It should be noted that the information transmission method provided in this embodiment of this application may be performed by an information transmission apparatus or a control module for performing the information transmission method in the information transmission apparatus. An information transmission apparatus provided in an embodiment of this application is described by assuming that the information transmission method in this embodiment of this application is performed by the information transmission apparatus.
