The present disclosure provides a communication method and apparatus. The method includes: a terminal device monitoring a wake-up signal from a network device, where the wake-up signal is used to wake up the terminal device that monitors, on a next paging occasion PO, a physical downlink control channel PDCCH scrambled by a paging radio network temporary identifier P-RNTI; the terminal device determining, according to the wake-up signal, a monitoring situation of monitoring on the next PO the PDCCH scrambled by the P-RNTI. Compared with the prior art, since a wake-up mechanism is introduced, the terminal device monitors the wake-up signal and determines, according to the wake-up signal, the monitoring situation of monitoring on the next PO the PDCCH scrambled by the P-RNTI, preventing a terminal device that has no need for monitoring from monitoring on the next PO, thereby avoiding a paging false alarm of the terminal device.

An arrangement is disclosed where in a multi-carrier communication system, the modulation scheme, coding attributes, training pilots, and signal power may be adjusted to adapt to channel conditions in order to maximize the overall system capacity and spectral efficiency without wasting radio resources or compromising error probability performance, etc.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for determining a resource for an acknowledgement signal in a wireless communication system. A transceiver of a user equipment (UE) receives a parameter associated with one or more resource blocks (RBs) for periodic transmission of a channel quality indication (CQI) signal in an operating bandwidth. A controller of the UE determines an RB for transmission of the acknowledgement signal, based on the parameter. The transceiver transmits the acknowledgement signal on the determined RB. The RB for the transmission of the acknowledgement signal is not more outer than the one or more RBs for periodic transmission of the CQI signal in the operating bandwidth.

A base station may transmit downlink control information indicating resource allocation types to avoid errors. In other cases, the UE and/or base station may designate a particular resource block group size to avoid the potential errors. The UE and/or base station may calculate a number of resource blocks groups for a bandwidth part and allocate the size of the resource block group based on the calculation. The UE and/or base station may conduct a comparison between a bandwidth part size and a resource block group size to determine whether to designate a different resource block group size to avoid the errors. Similar techniques may be utilized in allocating resources for precoding resource block groups.

The MPUE may determine a nominal number of active panels. The MPUE may map a number of panel identifiers equal to the nominal number of active panels to an actual number of active panels of the plurality of panels. The MPUE may receive, from a base station, a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a communication based on one of the panel identifiers. The MPUE may determine a panel for the communication based on the mapping. The MPUE may communicate according to the DCI using the determined panel.
