Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 5:
6. A network device, comprising:
at least one processor; and
one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to cause the network device to:
send a scheduling request to a terminal device through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), wherein the scheduling request indicates the terminal device to send data to the network device based on a preset time interval; and
in response to not receiving the data that is sent by the terminal device through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), determine, based on measurement gap configuration information of the terminal device, whether a time point at which the terminal device does not send the data is within a measurement gap window, wherein the measurement gap configuration information comprises a measurement period of a measurement gap, the measurement gap window, and a measurement start time, wherein
in response to determining that the time point at which the terminal device does not send the data is within the measurement gap window, send, to the terminal device, a redundancy version number for a next hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) retransmission.
