Abstract
This application pertains to the field of communication technologies, and provides a communication method and apparatus, to improve reliability of communication of a terminal apparatus in a sidelink (SL). In the method, a first terminal apparatus may determine a transmit beam based on M first channel measurement results carried in M first signals, and determine a receive beam based on M second channel measurement results corresponding to the M first signals. In this method, the first terminal apparatus may determine both a transmit beam and a receive beam for subsequent signal sending and receiving, so that reliability of communication of the first terminal apparatus can be improved. In addition, this method simplifies a beam management procedure, to reduce resource overheads and improve resource utilization.
