14. A terminal device comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the terminal device to:
determine a transport block (TB) comprising a first code block group (CBG) and a second CBG, wherein the first CBG carries valid data of the terminal device or carries the valid data and invalid data of the terminal device, wherein the second CBG carries invalid data of the terminal device, wherein the first CBG corresponds to a first time domain resource, wherein the second CBG corresponds to a second time domain resource, and wherein the first time domain resource and the second time domain resource do not overlap;
send the first CBG to a network device on the first time domain resource;
disable a transmission function of the terminal device on the second time domain resource, so that the terminal device does not send the second CBG to the network device;
determine that the TB comprises m code blocks (CBs), wherein m≥2;
set first to nth CBs to carry the valid data;
pad (n+1)th to mth CBs with the invalid data, wherein 1≤n<m;
divide first to kth CBs into at least one first CBG, wherein the at least one first CBG comprises i CBs, wherein n≤k<n+i, and wherein i≥1; and
divide (k+1)th to the mth CBs into at least one second CBG, wherein the at least one second CBG comprises i CBs.
