Acknowledgement information sending method and apparatus

An acknowledgement information sending method, comprising:

• separately receiving, by a terminal in A time units, downlink scheduling signaling sent by a network device, wherein A is a positive integer, the downlink scheduling signaling is used to schedule first downlink data, the first downlink data is downlink data corresponding to acknowledgement information fed back on a same uplink control channel, the downlink scheduling signaling is used to determine a first threshold, and a total quantity of the first downlink data scheduled by using the downlink scheduling signaling received by the terminal in the A time units does not exceed the first threshold;
• and
• determining, by the terminal based on the first threshold, the acknowledgement information corresponding to the first downlink data received in the A time units, and sending the acknowledgement information corresponding to the first downlink data to the network device on the same uplink control channel;
• or
• separately receiving, by a terminal in A time units, downlink scheduling signaling sent by a network device, wherein A is a positive integer, the downlink scheduling signaling is used to schedule first downlink data, the first downlink data is downlink data corresponding to acknowledgement information fed back on a same uplink control channel, the downlink scheduling signaling is used to determine a second threshold, and a total quantity of codewords of the first downlink data scheduled by using the downlink scheduling signaling received by the terminal in the A time units does not exceed the second threshold;
• and
• determining, by the terminal based on the second threshold, the acknowledgement information corresponding to the first downlink data received in the A time units, and sending the acknowledgement information corresponding to the first downlink data to the network device on the same uplink control channel;
• or
• separately receiving, by a terminal in A time units, downlink scheduling signaling sent by a network device, wherein A is a positive integer, the downlink scheduling signaling is used to schedule first downlink data, the first downlink data is downlink data corresponding to acknowledgement information fed back on a same uplink control channel, the downlink scheduling signaling is used to determine a third threshold, and a total quantity of code block groups of the first downlink data scheduled by using the downlink scheduling signaling received by the terminal in the A time units does not exceed the third threshold;
