1. A method for information transmission, comprising:
receiving, by a terminal device, first downlink control information (DCI) from a network device after the terminal device has sent a first preamble and a first uplink data channel to the network device; and
determining, by the terminal device, the following based on a radio network temporary identity (RNTI) used for scrambling the first DCI:
a type of a random access channel (RACH) process, including a 2-step RACH process and a 4-step RACH process;
a content of the first DCI;
a transmission mechanism for first data scheduled by the first DCI; and
information carried in the first data scheduled by the first DCI,
wherein, when the RNTI used for scrambling the first DCI is a first RNTI, the terminal device determines:
the type of the RACH process is the 2-step RACH process;
the content of the first DCI at least comprises information used for hybrid automatic repeat request transmission;
transmission of the first data scheduled by the first DCI supports hybrid automatic repeat request transmission; and
the information carried in the first data scheduled by the first DCI comprises at least one of the following: contention resolution information, radio resource control (RRC) connection establishment information, or RRC connection reestablishment information, and
wherein, when the RNTI used for scrambling the first DCI is a second RNTI, the terminal device determines:
the type of the RACH process is the 4-step RACH process;
the content of the first DCI does not comprise information used for hybrid automatic repeat request transmission;
transmission of the first data scheduled by the first DCI does not support hybrid automatic repeat request transmission; and
the information carried in the first data scheduled by the first DCI comprises at least one of a back indicator, a random access preamble identifier (RAPID), or a media access control (MAC) random access response (RAR).
