1. A communication method, comprising:
obtaining a first threshold to be used to derive a first signal quality of a cell, wherein the first threshold is configured by a network device;
receiving indication information from the network device, wherein the indication information comprises first indication information indicating which beam measurement information needs to be reported;
measuring a signal quality of each beam of at least one beam in the cell;
deriving the first signal quality of the cell; and
sending measurement information based on the indication information and information of the first signal quality of the cell to the network device;
wherein deriving the first signal quality comprises:
in a case that the at least one beam comprises one or more beams whose respective signal quality is above the first threshold, deriving the first signal quality of the cell based on an average value of the respective signal qualities of the one or more beams; and
in a case that the respective signal quality of each beam of the at least one beam is below the first threshold, deriving the first signal quality of the cell based on a respective signal quality of a beam that has a highest signal quality in the at least one beam.
