This application provides a wireless communication method, a terminal device, and a network device. The wireless communication method includes: A terminal device selects, based on a first parameter, a value set from a first value set and a second value set that are of slot offsets and that are configured by a network device, wherein all slot offsets in the first value set are greater than a first threshold, and at least one slot offset in the second value set is equal to the first threshold; and receive DCI, wherein a slot offset carried in the DCI belongs to the selected value set, and the slot offset is used to indicate an offset in a quantity of slots of a PDSCH scheduled by the DCI relative to the DCI. According to the technical solutions in this application, the different value sets correspond to different data channel scheduling mechanisms.
