Abstract: A data sending solution based on a maximum latency constraint T is provided. A transmitting end sends (T+B) data blocks, where first T data blocks are original data blocks, last B data blocks are B encoded data blocks, and a quantity of encoded data packets in the encoded data block is flexible and controllable. A receiving end only needs to perform joint decoding on a specific quantity of encoded data packets and a correct data packet in an incorrect data block, to recover an incorrect data packet in the incorrect data block. The solution in this application can meet a requirement of a maximum latency T, and can reduce a quantity of encoded data packets. The solution may be applied to an XR service or another service that has a low-latency requirement.

In this way, the access network device schedules the network-coded redundant packet by using the scheduling information only when the network-coded redundant packet needs to be scheduled, thereby avoiding a waste and reducing unnecessary redundant transmission.
