Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 1:
2. A communication method implemented by a communication apparatus, the communication method comprising:
mapping a sounding reference signal (SRS), which is a first delay tolerant signal, to a first gap period between a downlink transmission region and an uplink transmission region in a first time division duplex (TDD) subframe, and mapping time unit configuration information to a second gap period in a second TDD subframe wherein the time unit configuration information, which is a second delay tolerant signal, dynamically indicates configuration of the first TDD subframe and a length of the first gap period in the first TDD subframe; and
transmitting the SRS,
wherein the communication apparatus does not perform an uplink transmission in the downlink transmission region and does not expect a downlink transmission in the uplink transmission region.
