Method and apparatus for transmitting response information on feedback resources

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of a terminal, cause the terminal to perform a method for transmitting information, the method comprising:

• determining whether first response information corresponding to a first downlink resource range is successfully transmitted to a base station on an uplink feedback resource unit within the first downlink resource range, the first downlink resource range being currently occupied by a downlink transmission, the uplink feedback resource unit comprising a resource unit for transmitting the first response information to the base station;
• determining a target feedback resource unit within at least one second downlink resource range subsequently occupied by the downlink transmission in response to a determination that the first response information fails to be transmitted;
• and
• transmitting the first response information to the base station on the target feedback resource unit;
• wherein determining the target feedback resource unit within the at least one second downlink resource range subsequently occupied by the downlink transmission comprises:
• determining a number of fail times that the first response information consecutively fails to be transmitted;
• and
• determining the target feedback resource unit within the at least one second downlink resource range through a back-off algorithm based on the number of fail times;
• wherein determining the target feedback resource unit within the at least one second downlink resource range through the back-off algorithm based on the number of fail times comprises:
• determining a number of back-off resources through the back-off algorithm based on the number of fail times;
• and
• determining a target unit location based on the number of back-off resources, and determining a resource unit at the target unit location as the target feedback resource unit;
• wherein the back-off formula comprises:
• M=N*2n-1;
• or
• M=N*2n,
• where M is an integer value representing the number of back-off resources, N is an integer value representing a number of resource units included in the second downlink resource range, and n is an integer value representing the number of fail times.

A terminal, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions executable by the processor;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• determine whether first response information corresponding to a first downlink resource range is successfully transmitted to a base station on an uplink feedback resource unit within the first downlink resource range, the first downlink resource range being currently occupied by a downlink transmission, the uplink feedback resource unit comprising a resource unit for transmitting the first response information to the base station;
• determine a target feedback resource unit within at least one second downlink resource range subsequently occupied by the downlink transmission in response to a determination that the first response information fails to be transmitted;
• and
• transmit the first response information to the base station on the target feedback resource unit;
• wherein in determining the target feedback resource unit within the at least one second downlink resource range subsequently occupied by the downlink transmission, the processor is further configured to:
• determine a number of fail times that the first response information consecutively fails to be transmitted;
• and
• determine the target feedback resource unit within the at least one second downlink resource range through a back-off algorithm based on the number of fail times;
• wherein in determining the target feedback resource unit within the at least one second downlink resource range through the back-off algorithm based on the number of fail times, the processor is further configured to:
• determine a number of back-off resources through the back-off algorithm based on the number of fail times;
• and
• determine a target unit location based on the number of back-off resources, and determine a resource unit at the target unit location as the target feedback resource unit;
• wherein the back-off formula comprises:
• M=N*2n-1;
• or
• M=N*2n,
• where M is an integer value representing the number of back-off resources, N is an integer value representing a number of resource units included in the second downlink resource range, and n is an integer value representing the number of fail times.
