Claim 0:
1. A hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback method, applicable to a base station that allocates, to a terminal, multiple available scheduling resources configured to provide Early Data Transmission (EDT) service, the method comprising:
performing blind detection on EDT data transmitted to the base station by the terminal on the multiple available scheduling resources;
determining a HARQ feedback time point for the blind detection according to a preset rule that a HARQ feedback is made for a plurality of uplink (UL) transmission ending time points respectively for the multiple available scheduling resources, comprising:
for each available scheduling resource, determining a respective UL transmission ending time point based on a Transmission Block Size (TBS) and a UL transmission repetition count in the available scheduling resource; and
for each UL transmission ending time point, determining a respective HARQ feedback time point, wherein the determined HARQ feedback time point is at a specified position after the UL transmission ending time point; and

sending HARQ information about the blind detection to the terminal at the HARQ feedback time point.
