Communication method and apparatus

A method, comprising:

• sending, by a communication apparatus, configuration information, wherein the configuration information indicates that a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate and a second PDCCH candidate have an association relationship;
• sending, by the communication apparatus, first downlink control information (DCI) on a first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and sending second DCI on a second PDCCH monitoring occasion, wherein the first DCI and the second DCI schedule a same transport block (TB), the first DCI and the second DCI carry a same downlink assignment index (DAI) indication, the first DCI corresponds to the first PDCCH candidate, and the second DCI corresponds to the second PDCCH candidate;
• determining, by the communication apparatus, a group of DCI, wherein the group of DCI comprises the first DCI or the second DCI, and HARQ-ACK feedback information corresponding to the group of DCI is fed back on a same physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource;
• sorting, by the communication apparatus, the group of DCI, wherein an order of the first DCI or the second DCI in the group of DCI is determined based on the first PDCCH monitoring occasion;
• determining, by communication apparatus, target DCI from the group of DCI based on an order of each DCI of the group of DCI, wherein the target DCI indicates the same PUCCH resource;
• receiving, by the communication apparatus, a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook sent by a terminal device;
• and
• determining, by the communication apparatus based on the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the DAI indication carried in at least one DCI of the first DCI and the second DCI, HARQ-ACK feedback information corresponding to the TB that is in the HARQ-ACK codebook.

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is connected to a memory storing a program, the at least one processor is configured to read and execute the program stored in the memory, wherein executing the program causes the apparatus to perform the following operations:
• receiving configuration information, wherein the configuration information indicates that a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate and a second PDCCH candidate have an association relationship;
• detecting first downlink control information (DCI) on a first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and detecting second DCI on a second PDCCH monitoring occasion, wherein the first DCI and the second DCI schedule a same transport block (TB), the first DCI and the second DCI carry a same downlink assignment index (DAI) indication, the first DCI corresponds to the first PDCCH candidate, and the second DCI corresponds to the second PDCCH candidate;
• determining a group of DCI, wherein the group of DCI comprises the first DCI or the second DCI, and HARQ-ACK feedback information corresponding to the group of DCI is fed back on a same physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource;
• sorting the group of DCI, wherein an order of the first DCI or the second DCI in the group of DCI is determined based on the first PDCCH monitoring occasion;
• determining target DCI from the group of DCI based on an order of each DCI of the group of DCI, wherein the target DCI indicates the same PUCCH resource;
• generating a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook based on the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the DAI indication carried in at least one DCI of the first DCI and the second DCI;
• and
• sending the HARQ-ACK codebook.
