generating a request frame for establishing a retransmission feedback mechanism;

sending the request frame;

receiving a response frame returned based on the request frame and for establishing the retransmission feedback, wherein the response frame comprises first configuration information for performing retransmission feedback,

wherein the request frame comprises second configuration information for requesting data frame transmission,

wherein the response frame further comprises third configuration information generated based on the second configuration information,

wherein the third configuration information comprises at least one of:

second type information of the data frame, wherein the second type information is used to indicate the data frame is a single data frame or a continuous data frame,

second frequency band information of the data frame, or

second beam information of the data frame; and

sending the data frame according to the third configuration information,

wherein when the second type information indicates that the data frame is a continuous data frame, the third configuration information further comprises second quantity information of sub-data frames included in the continuous data frame; the second quantity information is determined according to a number of sub-data frames included in the continuous data frame which is requested by the request frame, and

wherein sending the data frame according to the third configuration information comprises:

sending sub-data frames of a quantity indicated by the second quantity information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration information comprises at least one of:

feedback manner information of the retransmission feedback, wherein the feedback manner information is used to indicate reception feedback based on data frame or reception feedback based on data block;

resource information of the retransmission feedback, wherein the resource information comprises at least one of time information and frequency band information; or

trigger frame information for triggering the retransmission feedback, wherein the trigger frame information at least comprises at least one of transmission manner and transmission time information of a trigger frame.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second configuration information comprises at least one of:

first type information of a data frame, wherein the first type information is used to indicate that the data frame is a single data frame or a continuous data frame;

one or more pieces of first frequency band information of the data frame; or

first beam information of the data frame, and

wherein when the first type information indicates a continuous data frame, the second configuration information further comprises first quantity information of sub-data frames included in the continuous data frame.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein sending the data frame according to the third configuration information comprises:

sending the data frame on a frequency band resource indicated by the second frequency band information.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein sending the data frame according to the third configuration information comprises:

sending the data frame with a beam indicated by the second beam information.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the request frame further comprises a first duration information bit used to indicate a duration in which the request end occupies a channel; and

the duration in which the request end occupies the channel is determined as a sum of a transmission duration of the request frame, a transmission duration of the response frame, a transmission duration of the data frame, and N inter-frame space durations of predetermined type, wherein the N is a positive integer no smaller than 2.

7. A method for retransmission feedback, performed by a response end, comprising:

receiving a request frame for establishing a retransmission feedback mechanism;

sending, based on the request frame, a response frame for establishing the retransmission feedback, wherein the response frame comprises first configuration information for performing retransmission feedback,

wherein the request frame comprises second configuration information for requesting data frame transmission,

wherein the response frame further comprises third configuration information generated based on the second configuration information,

wherein determining the third configuration information based on the second configuration information comprises at least one of:

according to first type information of a data frame requested by the request frame, determining second type information of the data frame comprised in the third configuration information,

according to first frequency band information of the data frame requested by the request frame, determining second frequency band information of the data frame comprised in the third configuration information, or

according to first beam information of the data frame requested by the request frame, determining second beam information of the data frame comprised in the third configuration information;

receiving the data frame according to the third configuration information; and

when the second type information indicates that the data frame is a continuous data frame, determining, according to the first quantity information of sub-data frames included in the continuous data frame which is requested by the request frame, second quantity information of sub-data frames included in the continuous data frame which is comprised by the third configuration information, and

wherein receiving the data frame according to the third configuration information comprises:

receiving sub-data frames of a quantity indicated by the second quantity information.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first configuration information comprises at least one of:

feedback manner information of the retransmission feedback, wherein the feedback manner information is used to indicate reception feedback based on data frame or reception feedback based on data block;

resource information of the retransmission feedback, wherein the resource information comprises at least one of time information and frequency band information; or

trigger frame information for triggering the retransmission feedback, wherein the trigger frame information at least comprises at least one of transmission manner and transmission time information of a trigger frame.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

sending the retransmission feedback according to the first configuration information.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein sending the retransmission feedback according to the first configuration information comprises:

sending the retransmission feedback at a time, at a frequency, or at a time and a frequency indicated by the resource information.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein sending the retransmission feedback at the time, at the frequency, or at the time and the frequency indicated by the resource information comprises:

sending the retransmission feedback after receiving a first beacon frame subsequent to the data frame.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein sending the retransmission feedback after receiving the first beacon frame subsequent to the data frame comprises:

after receiving the first beacon frame subsequent to the data frame, sending the retransmission feedback based on the trigger frame.
