Abstract

This application provides a data transmission method and a communications apparatus. The method includes: first determining, based on a first time domain resource, M mini-slot-level second time domain resources that do not cross a slot boundary; and then performing repeated mini-slot-level data transmission on the M second time domain resources.

Claims (45)

1. A method comprising:

determining a first time domain resource allocated for repetitive transmissions;

obtaining R third time domain resources by repeating the first time domain resource for R times based on an interval between adjacent third time domain resources of the R third time domain resources, wherein R is an integer greater than 1;

determining H+1 second time domain resources based on a fourth time domain resource, wherein the fourth time domain resource is any third time domain resource that spans a slot boundary in the R third time domain resources, the fourth time domain resource spans H slot boundaries, and H is a positive integer;

determining M second time domain resources, wherein M is an integer greater than R, and the M second time domain resources comprise Q second time domain resources and M-Q second time domain resources, and the Q second time domain resources are Q third time domain resources that do not cross a slot boundary in the R third time domain resources, and the M-Q second time domain resources are second time domain resources determined based on the fourth time domain resource, and Q is a positive integer less than R; and

sending first data to a network device for M times on the M second time domain resources, respectively.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the first time domain resource comprises:

receiving indication information from the network device, wherein the indication information indicates one row in a time domain resource table configured by higher layer signaling, each row in the time domain resource table comprises a start symbol S and a length L, a value of S ranges from 0 to 13, and a value of L ranges from 1 to 14; and

determining the first time domain resource based on the indication information.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first time domain resource crosses at least one slot boundary.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first data is carried on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and a mapping type of the PUSCH is type B indicating that a 1 st time domain symbol of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the PUSCH is a 1 st time domain symbol of the PUSCH.

5. An apparatus comprising:

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program to be executed by the one or more processors, the program comprises instructions for:

determining a first time domain resource allocated for repetitive transmissions;

obtaining R third time domain resources by repeating the first time domain resource for R times based on an interval between adjacent third time domain resources of the R third time domain resources, wherein R is an integer greater than 1;

determining H+1 second time domain resources based on a fourth time domain resource, wherein the fourth time domain resource is any third time domain resource that spans a slot boundary in the R third time domain resources, the fourth time domain resource spans H slot boundaries, and H is a positive integer;

determining M second time domain resources, wherein M is an integer greater than R, and the M second time domain resources comprise Q second time domain resources and M-Q second time domain resources, and the Q second time domain resources are Q third time domain resources that do not cross a slot boundary in the R third time domain resources, and the M-Q second time domain resources are second time domain resources determined based on the fourth time domain resource, and Q is a positive integer less than R; and

sending first data to a network device for M times on the M second time domain resources, respectively.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the program further comprises instructions for:

receiving indication information from the network device, wherein the indication information indicates one row in a time domain resource table configured by higher layer signaling, each row in the time domain resource table comprises a start symbol S and a length L, a value of S ranges from 0 to 13, and a value of L ranges from 1 to 14; and

determining the first time domain resource based on the indication information.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the first time domain resource crosses at least one slot boundary.

8. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the first data is carried on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and a mapping type of the PUSCH is type B indicating that a 1 st time domain symbol of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the PUSCH is a 1 st time domain symbol of the PUSCH.

9. An apparatus comprising:

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program to be executed by the one or more processors, the program comprises instructions for:

determining a first time domain resource allocated for repetitive transmissions;
