A data transmission method includes: transmitting, in a carrier aggregation scenario based on scheduling information, sidelink data on a data carrier and feedback data on a feedback carrier. The scheduling information is used to schedule the data carrier and/or the feedback carrier, and the feedback data is used to indicate a transmission result of the sidelink data.
