This application provides a communication method, a terminal device, and a network device. The method includes the steps of: receiving, by the terminal device, configuration information, where the configuration information is used to instruct the terminal device to jointly report channel state information (CSI) for at least two groups of channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resources; receiving, by the terminal device, CSI-RSs carried on the at least two groups of CSI-RS resources; and jointly reporting, by the terminal device, CSI based on a result of measuring the CSI-RSs carried on the at least two groups of CSI-RS resources. According to embodiments of this application, transmission performance can be improved.
