Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and apparatus, to reduce complexity of a polar code construction process. The method includes: obtaining a to-be-encoded bit sequence, where the to-be-encoded bit sequence includes K information bits, and K is an integer greater than 0; determining a first sequence, where positions of the K information bits in the first sequence are determined based on a second sequence corresponding to a target code rate and a value of K, the second sequence is used to represent selection priorities of N₀ bit positions, and N₀ is an integer greater than K; performing polar code encoding on the first sequence to obtain a third sequence; and sending the third sequence. The second sequence is designed for a constant code rate, and a same sequence may be used to construct a series of polar codes having a same code rate and different lengths.
