Abstract

This application provides a communication method, a terminal, and a network device. The communication method includes: repeating, by a first terminal, to-be-transmitted uplink control information for N times to obtain a first data segment, where N is a positive integer; determining, by the first terminal, an orthogonal cover code based on N; multiplying, by the first terminal, the first data segment by the orthogonal cover code to obtain a second data segment; and sending, by the first terminal, the second data segment. By using the communication method, the terminal, and the network device provided in this application, frequency diversity gains of the uplink control information can be increased, transmission flexibility of the uplink control information can be improved, and resource utilization can be increased.
