The present invention provides a method for allocating physical hybrid ARQ indicator channels, which is used for sending indication information corresponding to multiple uplink sub-frames in the same downlink sub-frame in a TDD system. The method includes: in the TDD system, through an index of a physical resource block where uplink data resides as well as an index of an uplink sub-frame where the uplink data resides, determining an index of a physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel group where a physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel in an downlink sub-frame resides and an intra-group index of the physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel in the physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel group according to an indexing rule, and further determining an index of the physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel by using the index of the physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel group and the intra-group index. According to implicit mapping the method of the present invention implements the allocation of the physical hybrid ARQ indicator channels over which the downlink indication messages corresponding to each uplink sub-frame are transmitted, thereby being capable of overcoming the problem potentially present in existing technologies that multiple indication messages reside on the same physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel. |
