Patent attributes
This application provides a data transmission method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, a first reference signal sent by a network device; measuring, by the terminal device, a downlink channel based on the first reference signal, to obtain a channel status of the downlink channel; determining, by the terminal device, a target mode from a plurality of modes based on the channel status of the downlink channel, where information that is used to feed back channel state information (CSI) and that is sent by the terminal device in different modes of the plurality of modes is different; and sending, by the terminal device, indication information to the network device, where the indication information is used to indicate the target mode. The data transmission method and apparatus in the embodiments of this application are conducive to improve flexibility of feeding back CSI.
