Abstract

A wireless communication method and apparatus and a communication system. The wireless communication method includes: a terminal equipment receives configuration information, the configuration information indicating that one or more than one SPS configuration is associated with an SPS configuration set, the one or more than one SPS configuration corresponding to identical priorities or identical HARQ-ACK codebooks.

Claims (14)

1 . A wireless communication apparatus, configured in a terminal equipment, the apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to:

receive first configuration information from a network device, the first configuration information indicating that multiple SPS configurations are associated with an SPS deactivate state, all the multiple SPS configurations associated with the SPS deactivate state are configured with an identical HARQ-ACK codebook index, wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook index is one of two types of HARQ-ACK codebook indices corresponding to two priority indices, respectively; and

receive second configuration information from the network device, the second configuration information being used to indicate the terminal equipment to generate two HARQ-ACK codebooks.

2 . The wireless communication apparatus according claim 1 , wherein

the first configuration information is first RRC (Radio Resource Control) information, and
