Abstract
A communication method and a communications apparatus are provided. A principle of the method is as follows. Currently, for downlink data transmitted in a semi-persistent scheduling manner, only 1-bit acknowledgment information can be fed back in one time unit. However, as a transmission periodicity P of the downlink data transmitted in the semi-persistent scheduling manner becomes smaller, multi-bit acknowledgment information may need to be fed back in one time unit. In view of this, this application provides a communication method and a communications apparatus to feed back multi-bit acknowledgment information in one time unit. First, multi-bit acknowledgment information to-be-sent in one time unit is determined; then N acknowledgment codebooks are generated, where the N acknowledgment codebooks are used to carry the multi-bit acknowledgment information; and finally, the N acknowledgment codebooks are sent in the time unit.
