A method for processing feedback information, comprising: receiving, by a base station, a HARQ feedback information request command to determine the feedback manner of the HARQ feedback information according to the HARQ feedback information request command, where the HARQ feedback information request command is sent by a user equipment; determining, by the base station, a feedback manner of hybrid automatic repeat request, HARQ, feedback information, wherein the feedback manner comprises: feeding back the HARQ feedback information by the user equipment or not feeding back the HARQ feedback information by the user equipment; and sending, by the base station, first signaling to the user equipment, wherein the first signaling carries the feedback manner of the HARQ feedback information, where the base station determines the feedback manner of the HARQ feedback information according to a channel condition of a downlink channel, which is determined by the base station according to channel state information, CSI, reported by the user equipment or, in a time division duplex, TDD, system, according to reciprocity between uplink and downlink channels in the TDD system by measuring a sounding reference signal, SRS, sent in an uplink by the user equipment. receiving, by a base station, a HARQ feedback information request command to determine the feedback manner of the HARQ feedback information according to the HARQ feedback information request command, where the HARQ feedback information request command is sent by a user equipment; determining, by the base station, a feedback manner of hybrid automatic repeat request, HARQ, feedback information, wherein the feedback manner comprises: feeding back the HARQ feedback information by the user equipment or not feeding back the HARQ feedback information by the user equipment; and sending, by the base station, first signaling to the user equipment, wherein the first signaling carries the feedback manner of the HARQ feedback information, where the base station determines the feedback manner of the HARQ feedback information according to a channel condition of a downlink channel, which is determined by the base station according to channel state information, CSI, reported by the user equipment or, in a time division duplex, TDD, system, according to reciprocity between uplink and downlink channels in the TDD system by measuring a sounding reference signal, SRS, sent in an uplink by the user equipment. feeding back the HARQ feedback information by the user equipment or not feeding back the HARQ feedback information by the user equipment; and sending, by the base station, first signaling to the user equipment, wherein the first signaling carries the feedback manner of the HARQ feedback information, where the base station determines the feedback manner of the HARQ feedback information according to a channel condition of a downlink channel, which is determined by the base station according to channel state information, CSI, reported by the user equipment or, in a time division duplex, TDD, system, according to reciprocity between uplink and downlink channels in the TDD system by measuring a sounding reference signal, SRS, sent in an uplink by the user equipment.
