1. A method for determining a size of a downlink control information (DCI) format, applied to a network device, and comprising:
determining, according to a length of information bits to be actually borne by the DCI format, the size of the DCI format that needs to be detected by a terminal, wherein the size of the DCI format is determined based on the DCI format and the length of information bits to be actually borne by the DCI format, and the size of the DCI format is different from a size of a predetermined DCI format; and
sending information for indicating the size of the DCI format to the terminal, wherein sending the information for indicating the size of the DCI format to the terminal comprises:
sending a control signaling to the terminal, the control signaling including the length of the information bits to be actually borne by the DCI format,

wherein the size of the DCI format is sent through higher layer signaling.
