This application describes transmission control methods and devices. One method comprises: sending, by a first device to a second device, first control signaling that instructs the second communications device to send a first group of data packets, the first control signaling comprises a first packet sequence number, a first packet sequence number range, and a first transmission time interval, the first group of data packets correspond to sequence numbers within the first packet sequence number range starting from the first packet sequence number, and the first transmission time interval indicates a time interval for sending data packets of the first group of data packets; and receiving, by the first device from the second device, at least one data packet in the first group of data packets.
