The embodiment of the present application provides a time
delay reporting method, which comprises the following steps: reporting target
time delays corresponding to data in multiple specific positions in a
data stream, wherein the multiple specific positions are spaced apart by a
fixed length; wherein: the period of the multiple specific positions corresponds to the length of one or more
convolution interleaving sequences, the specific positions correspond to
delay lines with the maximum or minimum introduced time
delay in the
convolution interleaving; or, the period of the multiple specific positions corresponds to the length of one or more distribution sequences, each of the distribution sequences corresponds to eight sub-sequences after distribution; or, the period of the multiple specific positions corresponds to an integer multiple of N data blocks, each of the N data blocks corresponds to a
forward error correction (FEC)
code word, N is a positive integer, and the length of each data block is: 120 bits, or 128 bits, or 110 bits, or 126 bits. According to the scheme, time delay can be accurately reported.
