    Abstract: This application provides a method for communicating a modulation and coding scheme (MCS). A terminal device obtains a modulation order, a code rate, or a spectral efficiency, determines an index of a reference MCS from a mapping table based on the obtained modulation order, code rate, or spectral efficiency, and reports the index of the reference MCS to a network device. The mapping table includes one or more mapping relationships between an MCS index and a modulation order, a code rate, or a spectral efficiency. The terminal device may process uplink or downlink data based on the determined MCS, thereby improving data transmission reliability.

    Abstract: This application provides a method for determining a time-domain resource used for grant-free transmission. The method includes: obtaining, by a terminal device, a first time-domain period and a second time-domain period of grant-free transmission resources, where a size of the first time-domain period is P1 time units, a size of the second time-domain period is P2 time units, and P1 is greater than or equal to P2; obtaining, by the terminal device, a quantity k of grant-free transmission resources in the first time-domain period; and determining, by the terminal device based on the first time-domain period, the second time-domain period, and the quantity k of grant-free transmission resources in the first time-domain period, an index of a time unit in which a grant-free transmission resource used for grant-free transmission is located. In this way, grant-free transmission resources configured for the terminal device in two adjacent periods do not overlap.

    Abstract: User equipment receives at least one TAC that is broadcast by a network device, where the TAC includes geographical location information, and the geographical location information is used to indicate a geographical location of a preset location point in a TA corresponding to the TAC. The user equipment determines, based on the TAC and a tracking area list (TAL), whether the TAL needs to be updated. If it is determined that the TAL needs to be updated, the user equipment sends a tracking area update request to the network device. The user equipment receives a response message, of the tracking area update request, returned by the network device.
