5 . The processing method according to claim 4 , wherein entering or starting the survival time indicates entering or starting the survival time status.

6 . The processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the performing, by the terminal device, the relevant operation of the survival time according to the first information further comprises:

performing, by the terminal device, at least one of the following operations according to the first information in a case that the first condition is met:

determining whether to receive or process a corresponding Downlink Feedback Indication (DFI); or

determining whether to perform reporting.

7 . The processing method according to claim 6 , wherein the first information further comprises at least one of:

a correspondence between the survival time and a Logical Channel (LCH);

a correspondence between the survival time and a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ); or

a correspondence between the survival time and a Configured Grant (CG).

8 . The processing method according to claim 6 , wherein the first condition comprises at least one of:

the survival time being bonded to the LCH;

the survival time being bonded to a HARQ process; or

the survival time being bonded to the CG.

9 . The processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the performing the highly reliable transmission further comprises at least one of:

performing a repetition transmission, using another set of duplicate transmission times, using another set of repetition transmission times, using a second set of Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS), using another resource configuration, using another set of resource configuration parameters, using another set of LCH mapping restrictions, cancelling a LCH mapping restriction, using a first set of LCH configuration parameters, using a second set of physical layer transmission parameters, or using a second prioritization processing method.

10 . The processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining to perform the specific transmission comprises at least one of:
