The application relates to radio communication technologies and discloses a method for receiving semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) data packets and sending acknowledgment information of the SPS data packets. A communication apparatus receives physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) data packets from a base station. The PDSCH data packets include one or more dynamic scheduling data packets and one or more semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) data packets. The communication apparatus sends, to the base station, a sequence including feedback information of the PDSCH data packets. The sequence includes a plurality of bits. Each bit carries an acknowledgement (ACK) or a negative acknowledgement (NAK) to one PDSCH data packet respectively. The bits carrying acknowledgements of the one or more SPS data packets are arranged at the end of the sequence.
