This application provides a communication method and apparatus. The method may include: A first communication apparatus receives configuration information of a first neural network; the first communication apparatus determines the first neural network based on the configuration information of the first neural network; the first communication apparatus obtains first channel information based on channel information obtained through measurement and the first neural network, where a data amount of the first channel information is less than a data amount of the channel information obtained through measurement; and the first communication apparatus sends the first channel information, where the first channel information is used to obtain second channel information by using a second neural network, and the second channel information is used for data transmission.
