Abstract: This application discloses a method and an apparatus for processing information, a communications device, and a communications system. The communications device is configured to obtain a starting position of an output bit sequence in a coded block in a circular buffer, and determine the output bit sequence in the coded block based on a length of the output bit sequence and the starting position. A value of the starting position is one of { p   0 ,  p   1 ,  p   2 ...,  p     k   max -1 } ,  where 0 ≤  p k  < N CB   ,  p k    is an integer, k is an integer, 0 ≤  k  <  k   max ,  N CB    is a size of the coded block, and  k   max  is an integer greater than or equal to 4. Because a bit sequence for an initial transmission or a retransmission is properly determined, decoding performance of a communications device at a receive end after receiving the bit sequence is improved, a decoding success rate is improved, and a quantity of retransmissions is further reduced.
