Claim:
1. A method for sending hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) information, comprising: in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) system, configuring a terminal to employ a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) format 1b with channel selection method to send HARQ-ACK information; bundling HARQ-ACK information of downlink subframes of serving cells in a bundling window corresponding to a specified uplink subframe to obtain HARQ-ACK information to be sent by the serving cells, wherein the serving cells are the aggregated cells with different uplink and downlink configurations; and sending the HARQ-ACK information over the uplink subframe via the PUCCH or a Physical Uplink Shard Channel (PUSCH); wherein sending the HARQ-ACK information via the PUCCH or the PUSCH comprises one of the following: when sending via the PUCCH, concatenating the HARQ-ACK information of the serving cells into an HARQ-ACK information sequence according to a predefined order, and then employing a PUCCH format 1b with channel selection method to send the HARQ-ACK information sequence; and when sending via the PUSCH, concatenating the HARQ-ACK information of the serving cells into an HARQ-ACK information sequence according to a predefined order, and then sending the HARQ-ACK information sequence via the PUSCH.
