Abstract

A data transmission (including receiving and sending) method is disclosed. According to the data transmission method, a terminal device receives downlink control information (DCI), where cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of the DCI is scrambled by using a first RNTI, the DCI is used to schedule a first downlink data channel, and the first downlink data channel is scrambled by using a second RNTI; and the terminal device receives the first downlink data channel based on the DCI. The DCI includes a DAI domain and/or an FDRA domain. The DAI domain indicates a count of first HARQ-ACK information in a first HARQ-ACK codebook, and the first HARQ-ACK codebook corresponds to the first RNTI. The FDRA domain indicates, within a frequency domain range of a public frequency resource, a scheduled frequency domain resource on the first downlink data channel.
