Patent attributes
A data transmission method and a communications device, the method including: determining, by a first communications device, a target data transmission mode, where the target data transmission mode is used to indicate a quantity of times that the first communications device transmits an encoded-bit combination to a second communications device and an encoded-bit combination transmitted each time, the encoded-bit combination transmitted each time may include one encoded bit sequence or a plurality of encoded bit sequences, where the encoded bit sequence is obtained by encoding all or some of K information bits, and K is a positive integer, and sending, by the first communications device, the encoded-bit combination to the second communications device in the target data transmission mode, and receiving, by the second communications device, the encoded-bit combination sent by the first communications device, and decoding the encoded bit sequence included in the encoded-bit combination.
