1. A communication method, comprising:
receiving, by a terminal device, first indication information from a network device;
determining, by the terminal device, a target transmission mode of N transport blocks (TBs) based on the first indication information, wherein the target transmission mode is a sequential transmission mode or an interleaved transmission mode, and the N TBs are scheduled by using downlink control information (DCI); and
receiving, by the terminal device, the N TBs from the network device based on the target transmission mode; or, sending, by the terminal device, the N TBs to the network device based on the target transmission mode;
wherein when the target transmission mode is the interleaved transmission mode, an interleaving granularity of the N TBs is p×NSF×min(MrepNPUSCH,4) subframes; or
an interleaving granularity of the N TBs is p×min(MrepNPUSCH,4) subframes, wherein
p is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, NSF is the quantity of subframes to which the downlink data channel carrying TBk is mapped, NSF is determined based on the resource allocation indication information in the DCI, MrepNPUSCH is the repetition quantity of TBk, MrepNPUSCH is determined based on the repetition quantity indication information in the DCI, and TBk is one of the N TBs.
