1. A communication method, comprising:
receiving first indication information from a first network device, wherein the first indication information indicates a time division duplex (TDD) configuration, the TDD configuration indicates at least one first uplink time unit and at least one downlink time unit in a time domain unit, the time domain unit comprises N time units, and N is an integer greater than 1;
receiving second indication information from the first network device, wherein the second indication information indicates a reference TDD configuration and an offset, the reference TDD configuration indicates k second uplink time units in the N time units, k is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than N, a value of the offset belongs to a value range, and the value range comprises a part of or all of 0, 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 and does not comprise 3, 4, 8, and 9; and
sending a first uplink signal to the first network device in a third uplink time unit based on the reference TDD configuration and the offset, wherein the third uplink time unit is one or more of the at least one first uplink time unit.
