A data detection method and a terminal applied to a first terminal are provided. The method includes receiving one or more pieces of SA information transmitted by one or more second terminals and used to indicate transmission resources of one or more data-to-be-detected; determining, based on the one or more pieces of SA information, one or more detection weight values corresponding to the one or more data-to-be-detected; detecting, based on the one or more detection weight values, the one or more data-to-be-detected within a data detection capability of the first terminal.
