A method for indicating stopping of a transmission, comprising: acquiring, by a terminal device, configuration information of a transmission stopping indication; and receiving, by the terminal device, transmission stopping indication information based on the configuration information, wherein the transmission stopping indication information is used for indicating to the terminal device to stop a data transmission, wherein the configuration information at least further comprises a configuration mode; wherein the configuration mode at least comprises a subscriber-specific configuration mode, a subscriber group-specific configuration mode, or a combination of the subscriber-specific configuration mode and the subscriber group-specific configuration mode, wherein receiving, by the terminal device, the transmission stopping indication information based on the configuration information comprises: receiving, by the terminal device, the transmission stopping indication information based on group-common downlink control information when the configuration mode in the configuration information is the subscriber group-specific configuration mode, wherein part of bit information in the group-common downlink control information is used for indicating to the terminal device to stop the data transmission according to a first policy, wherein the first policy comprises: stopping the data transmission when a scrambling code used for scrambling the data is a first scrambling code, characterized in that the configuration information is used for indicating a position of a subscriber who stops the data transmission in a subscriber group. acquiring, by a terminal device, configuration information of a transmission stopping indication; and receiving, by the terminal device, transmission stopping indication information based on the configuration information, wherein the transmission stopping indication information is used for indicating to the terminal device to stop a data transmission, wherein the configuration information at least further comprises a configuration mode; wherein the configuration mode at least comprises a subscriber-specific configuration mode, a subscriber group-specific configuration mode, or a combination of the subscriber-specific configuration mode and the subscriber group-specific configuration mode, wherein receiving, by the terminal device, the transmission stopping indication information based on the configuration information comprises: receiving, by the terminal device, the transmission stopping indication information based on group-common downlink control information when the configuration mode in the configuration information is the subscriber group-specific configuration mode, wherein part of bit information in the group-common downlink control information is used for indicating to the terminal device to stop the data transmission according to a first policy, receiving, by the terminal device, the transmission stopping indication information based on group-common downlink control information when the configuration mode in the configuration information is the subscriber group-specific configuration mode, wherein part of bit information in the group-common downlink control information is used for indicating to the terminal device to stop the data transmission according to a first policy, wherein the first policy comprises: stopping the data transmission when a scrambling code used for scrambling the data is a first scrambling code, characterized in that the configuration information is used for indicating a position of a subscriber who stops the data transmission in a subscriber group. stopping the data transmission when a scrambling code used for scrambling the data is a first scrambling code, characterized in that the configuration information is used for indicating a position of a subscriber who stops the data transmission in a subscriber group.
