Communication method and communication device

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate:

• determining a parallel hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) communication instruction for instructing a user equipment to receive data in a parallel HARQ manner, wherein receiving the data in the parallel HARQ manner comprises receiving at least two data packets with the same content within a single transmission time interval (TTI);
• configuring downlink control signaling, wherein the downlink control signaling comprises a physical resource, a modulation and coding scheme and a parallel HARQ quantity parameter to be used by the user equipment for receiving the data in the parallel HARQ manner, wherein the parallel HARQ quantity parameter indicates a quantity of parallel HARQs to be executed for receiving the data;
• and
• sending the parallel HARQ communication instruction and the downlink control signaling to the user equipment.

A communication method, comprising:

• determining, by a network device, a parallel hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) communication instruction for instructing a user equipment to receive data in a parallel HARQ manner, wherein receiving the data in the parallel HARQ manner comprises receiving at least two data packets with the same content within a single transmission time interval (TTI);
• configuring, by the network device, downlink control signaling, wherein the downlink control signaling comprises a physical resource, a modulation and coding scheme and a parallel HARQ quantity parameter to be used by the user equipment for receiving the data in the parallel HARQ manner, wherein the parallel HARQ quantity parameter indicates a quantity of parallel HARQs to be executed for receiving the data;
• and
• sending, by the network device, the parallel HARQ communication instruction and the downlink control signaling to the user equipment.
