Optionally, with reference to the sixteenth aspect or any one of the foregoing implementation manners of the sixteenth aspect, in a fourth implementation manner of the sixteenth aspect, the user equipment sends the first uplink information according to an effective transmission time of the first uplink information, where the effective transmission time includes a quantity of retransmission times of a resource element of the first uplink information or time duration for transmitting the first uplink information; and the effective transmission time is a parameter obtained by the user equipment from control signaling, where the control signaling is at least one of physical layer signaling, RRC signaling, or system information; or the effective transmission time is obtained by the user equipment from a mapping of a control parameter of second uplink information, where the control parameter of the second uplink information includes at least one of a MCS of the second uplink information, a quantity of retransmission times of a resource element of the second uplink information, or a quantity of subcarriers of the second uplink information, and the second uplink information is sent before the first uplink information; or the effective transmission time is obtained by the user equipment from a resource mapping of a physical random access channel (PRACH); or the effective transmission time is a parameter preset in the user equipment.
