Claim 12:
13. A network device, comprising:
a receiver, configured to receive a power headroom report (PHR) reported by a terminal;
a processor, configured to obtain a current path loss (PL) of the terminal based on the PHR, wherein
the processor is further configured to determine, based on the PL and an obtained interference margin, a repetition count of uplink control information (UCI) of the terminal; and
a transmitter, configured to send the repetition count of the UCI to the terminal, wherein the repetition count of the UCI is used to determine an uplink transmit power;
wherein the processor is configured to:
compare a sum of the PL and the interference margin with a preset threshold; and
if the sum of the PL and the interference margin is greater than the threshold, determine the repetition count of the UCI based on a high coverage level; or
if the sum of the PL and the interference margin is less than the threshold, determine the repetition count of the UCI based on a low coverage level.
