Abstract

Provided are a method and apparatus for determining a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook, and a device and a storage medium. The method includes generating first feedback information, the first feedback information including feedback information for a first physical channel, the first physical channel being a physical channel corresponding to a first HARQ process on a first cell, the first cell supporting a CBG-based feedback mode, and the first physical channel does not correspond to a CBG-based transmission mode; and determining a target feedback sequence. The target feedback sequence includes feedback information ordered based on HARQ process numbers in N cells, the N cells includes the first cell, the feedback information ordered based on HARQ process numbers in the N cells includes the first feedback information, and N is a positive integer.
