Repetitive data transmission method and apparatus

Abstract

This application provides a data transmission method and an apparatus, to reduce a quantity of times of repeated transmission of data, reduce power consumption of a terminal device, save transmission resources, and maintain a high time diversity gain. The method includes: A network device sends first information, and a terminal device receives the first information, where the first information is used to configure K repeated transmission occasions. The network device and the terminal device repeatedly transmit first data on N repeated transmission occasions in the K repeated transmission occasions, where the N repeated transmission occasions are discontinuous in time domain, K is an integer greater than 1, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than K.
