Abstract

Provided are a method and apparatus for sending Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) information. The method includes: when a terminal employs a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format 3 to transmit HARQ-ACK information and the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted over a uplink physical shared channel (PUSCH), determining the number of downlink subframes for serving cells to feed back the HARQ-ACK information; determining the number of encoded modulated symbols required for sending the HARQ-ACK information according to the determined number of downlink subframes; and mapping the HARQ-ACK information to be sent to the PUSCH of a specified uplink subframe according to the number of encoded modulated symbols and sending the HARQ-ACK information. The technical solutions provided by the disclosure are applied to improve the performance of the HARQ-ACK information, and thus improve the data performance.
