  • Patent number: 10979171
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a data transmission method, a network device, and a terminal device. For achieving this, indication signaling indicating data transmission of one transport block can be sent. The indication signaling carries a status value indicating a quantity of coding block groups in the transport block. The status value further indicates at least one coding block group in the data transmission. The status value is represented by using a maximum of K+1 bits, and K is a maximum value of the quantity of coding block groups that can be included in the transport block. In various embodiments, a network device jointly indicates, by using the status value, the quantity of coding block groups in the transport block and the at least one coding block group included in the data transmission, so that a quantity of bits occupied by the indication signaling is reduced, thereby reducing signaling overheads.
