Abstract

A method for determining a transport block size includes: determining an overhead of a sidelink data channel PSSCH demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in a physical resource block (PRB) of a first time-frequency resource, where the first time-frequency resource includes a first time unit in time domain; and determining, based on the overhead of the PSSCH DMRS, a number of resource elements (REs) on the first time-frequency resource that are for data transmission, where the number of REs for data transmission is for determining a transport block size (TBS) of the sidelink data channel PSSCH. The method provides a combined gain of a plurality of transmissions of a same transport block, and supports DMRS configurations of different quantities of DMRS symbols in initial transmission and retransmission of one transport block.
