1. A communication method, comprising:
determining, by a network apparatus, an ith sidelink transmission resource of an ith cooperation terminal apparatus, wherein the ith cooperation terminal apparatus belongs to N cooperation terminals, and the ith sidelink transmission resource belongs to the 1st sidelink transmission resource to an Nth sidelink transmission resource, wherein i is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1: the ith sidelink transmission resource is different from a jth sidelink transmission resource, the jth sidelink transmission resource is a sidelink transmission resource that is of a jth cooperation terminal apparatus and that is determined by the network apparatus, and the jth cooperation terminal apparatus belongs to the N cooperation terminals, wherein j is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N, and j is not equal to i; and the ith sidelink transmission resource is used by the ith cooperation terminal apparatus to send second data to a target terminal apparatus, the second data is determined based on first data sent by the network apparatus to the ith cooperation terminal apparatus, and the N cooperation terminal apparatuses and the target terminal apparatus belong to a same cooperative transmission group; and
sending, by the network apparatus, the ith sidelink transmission resource to the ith cooperation terminal apparatus and the target terminal apparatus.
