Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for coverage enhancement. In a method for communication, a terminal device receives, from a network device, information on an inferring relation between a first channel associated with a first slot and a second channel associated with a second slot. The terminal device determines, based on the information, whether the first and second channels are to be inferable from each other. In accordance with a determination that the first and second channels are to be inferable from each other, the terminal device performs communications with the network device on the first and second channels based on the inferring relation. Embodiments of the present disclosure effectively enhance coverage of communications, thereby improving communication performance.
