Abstract
This application provides a communication method and apparatus, where a first radio link control (RLC) entity is introduced to transmit a network-coded redundant packet, and a second RLC entity is introduced to transmit a network-coded original packet, to support requirement-based transmission of the network-coded redundant packet. In some embodiments, an apparatus receives scheduling information from an access network device. The apparatus obtains a network-coded redundant packet through a first RLC entity, generates a first transport block (TB) based on the network-coded redundant packet, and sends the first TB to the access network device, where the first TB includes the network-coded redundant packet. The first RLC entity is configured to transmit the network-coded redundant packet. 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, avoiding resource waste by reducing unnecessary and redundant transmission.
