Abstract

The present disclosure is related to a HARQ-ACK codebook determination method. The method includes receiving trigger information sent by a network device, wherein the trigger information is used to indicate the user equipment to perform One-Shot HARQ-ACK feedback; and according to data scheduling information corresponding to a target Transport Block (TB) in a target HARQ process, determining HARQ-ACK information for the target TB in the target HARQ process in a Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook. The Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook includes HARQ-ACK information corresponding to all HARQ processes on all configured carriers in a PUCCH group.
