Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus and computer readable storage medium for controlling data retransmission in a multi-user system. A method comprises determining whether data transferred by any of multiple users are received unsuccessfully. The multiple users share a same resource in a feedback channel, for carrying feedback information of whether or not data transferred by respective users are received successfully. When data transferred by any of the multiple users are received unsuccessfully, the method also comprises causing data retransmission in a first retransmission mode or a second retransmission mode. In the first retransmission mode, positive feedback is sent via the same resource to the multiple users, and adaptive retransmission is triggered for the users whose data are received unsuccessfully. In the second retransmission mode, negative feedback is sent via the same resource to the multiple users, so that non-adaptive retransmission is triggered for the multiple users.
