1. A communication apparatus, comprising a transceiver and a processor, wherein
the processor is configured to generate first information, wherein the first information indicates a number of first PTRS ports, and the number of first PTRS ports is a number of ports recommended by the communication apparatus; and
the transceiver is configured to send the first information to a network device, receive first indication information from the network device, and send a DFT-s-OFDM symbol to which a PTRS is mapped to the network device, wherein the first indication information is used for determining mapping information of the PTRS on the DFT-s-OFDM symbol, and the mapping information comprises at least one of a number of second PTRS ports scheduled by the network device, a mapping layer of each PTRS port, a number of PTRSs in a PTRS group at a mapping layer, or a number of samples per PTRS group; and a number of PTRS mapping layers is less than or equal to a number of DFT-s-OFDM scheduling layers, the number of PTRS mapping layers is greater than or equal to 1, the number of DFT-s-OFDM scheduling layers is greater than 1, and data is mapped to a location corresponding to a PTRS at a layer to which the PTRS is not mapped at the DFT-s-OFDM scheduling layers.
