This application provides a wireless communication method and device. The method includes: scrambling, with each piece of configuration information of a plurality of pieces of configuration information for configuring a terminal device, bits that are included in a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of downlink control information (DCI) and that correspond to each piece of configuration information, to obtain a scrambled sequence, where at least one bit of bits that correspond to each piece of configuration information does not correspond to another piece of configuration information of the plurality of pieces of configuration information; and sending the DCI and the scrambled sequence to the terminal device.
