Transport block generation method and apparatus

Abstract

This application relates to the field of communications technologies, and discloses a transport block generation method and apparatus. The method includes: determining a TBS based on an MCS of a receiving device, a resource characteristic of an RB allocated to the receiving device, and a quantity of symbols, where the quantity of symbols is a quantity of symbols included in each RB, and each RB includes a same quantity of symbols; and generating a TB based on a TBS. TBS is determined based on the MCS of the receiving device, a quantity of RBs allocated to the receiving device, and the quantity of symbols included in the RB, and the TB is generated based on the determined TBS. The quantity of symbols included in the RB is considered in determining the TBS. Therefore, the determined TBS may vary with the quantity of symbols included in the RB.
