Abstract:
Embodiments of this application provide a communications method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining an input sequence of rate matching, wherein the input sequence is a retransmission sequence corresponding to a transport block, the input sequence comprises M code block groups, a value of M is less than a quantity of code block groups obtained after the transport block is segmented, and the M code block groups comprise C t  code blocks; and performing rate matching on the C t  code blocks, wherein a length of an output sequence of rate matching of each of the C t  code blocks satisfies the following conditions: when j≤C t −γ−1, E=N L ·Q m ·└G′/C t ┘; when j>C t −γ−1, E=N L ·Q m ·┌G′/C t ┐. The method may be applicable to a system in which transmission is performed based on a code block group, and resources are fully used as many as possible, thereby improving performance.

Claim (Index 12):
The apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:\n obtaining a soft buffer size B j  corresponding to the j th  code block in the M code block groups, wherein a value of B j  is determined based on C t , a length K w  of the j th  code block after being encoded, and a soft buffer size N IR  of the transport block; and determining, based on B j , a bit set used for transmission; and wherein the C t  output sequences are obtained based on the bit set.
