Claim 8:
9. A communications apparatus that is a terminal device or a chip of the terminal device, comprising:
a receiver, configured to receive reference signal configuration information from a network device, wherein the reference signal configuration information comprises at least one of: a first beam sweeping type and a first reference signal beam indication; and
receive a reference signal from the network device; and
a processor, configured to perform one of the following:
when the first beam sweeping type is sweeping a transmit beam or not sweeping a receive beam, determine that data can be mapped onto another resource element that is located on the same orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol as the reference signal;
when the first reference signal beam indication is the same as a beam indication of data, determine that the data can be mapped onto another resource element that is located on the same OFDM symbol as the reference signal; or
when the first beam sweeping type is sweeping a transmit beam or not sweeping a receive beam, and the first reference signal beam indication is the same as a beam indication of data, determine that the data can be mapped onto another resource element that is located on the same OFDM symbol as the reference signal.
