Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to the communications field, and disclose a data transmission method and device to resolve a problem that a success rate of receiving data by an MTC terminal is relatively low after an SC-PTM technology is introduced. A specific solution is as follows: A base station device sends first control information to a terminal device, where the first control information is used to control repeated transmission of multicast service data; and the base station device sends the multicast service data to the terminal device according to the first control information. The present invention is used in a data transmission process.

the second frequency information is used to indicate a frequency for sending the second control information, and the second frequency information comprising at least one of: a narrow band center frequency or a narrow band index value.

7. A communication apparatus, comprising:

a memory storing a first repetition quantity, a second repetition quantity, a third repetition quantity, a fourth repetition quantity, and a fifth repetition quantity; and

a transmitter in communication with the memory, the transmitter configured to:

send a system information of a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the system information comprising the third repetition quantity for the first PDCCH, the system information being a portion of control information used to control repeated transmission of multicast service data;

send on the first PDCCH, a second control information for a third repetition quantity times, the second control information comprising the fourth repetition quantity for a single cell multicast control channel (SC-MCCH);

send on the SC-MCCH, a first control information for the fourth repetition quantity times, the first control information comprising the fifth repetition quantity for a second PDCCH;

send on the second PDCCH, a third control information for a fifth repetition quantity times, the third control information comprising the first repetition quantity for a single cell multicast traffic channel (SC-MTCH); and

send on the SC-MTCH the multicast service data for a first repetition quantity times.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to send a first notification through the first PDCCH or the second PDCCH, the first notification indicating a change of the SC-MCCH, wherein the first PDCCH or the second PDCCH is scrambled by a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI).

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the transmitter is configured to:

send the first notification when determining a start of a new type of multicast service data.

10. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to send a second notification through the first PDCCH, the second notification indicating a change of the SC-MCCH.
