Claim 16:
17. The network device according to claim 12, wherein the transmitter is further configured to send priority information to the terminal device, wherein the priority information indicates priorities of the plurality of transmission units having an association relationship or priorities of the plurality of HARQ processes having an association relationship, wherein
when the terminal device successfully receives N transmission units with highest priorities in the plurality of transmission units or data of N HARQ processes with highest priorities in the plurality of HARQ processes, the receiver is configured to receive, in an HARQ process corresponding to each of the plurality of transmission units or in each of the plurality of HARQ processes, the positive acknowledgement sent by the terminal device, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 1; or
when the terminal device successfully receives M transmission units with lowest priorities in the plurality of transmission units or data of M HARQ processes with lowest priorities in the plurality of HARQ processes, the receiver is configured to receive, in an HARQ process corresponding to each of the M transmission units or in each of the M HARQ processes, the positive acknowledgement sent by the terminal device, wherein M is an integer greater than or equal to 1; and the receiver is further configured to receive, in HARQ processes corresponding to transmission units other than the M transmission units in the plurality of transmission units or in HARQ processes other than the M HARQ processes in the plurality of HARQ processes, a negative acknowledgement sent by the terminal device.
