Embodiments of the present invention disclose an information transmission method, a related device, and a system. The method includes: determining, by a terminal device at a moment n, that a communication failure occurs on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a first control resource set; and if the terminal device detects, within a first time period after the moment n, that channel quality of the PDCCH on the first control resource set meets a first preset condition, canceling, by the terminal device, sending of communication failure recovery request information, and/or stopping, by the terminal device, timing of a communication failure recovery clock. In the embodiments of the present invention, a communication link can be rapidly recovered after a communication failure occurs.

A multi-link aggregation transmission method and a related apparatus. The method includes: a receive end receives at least one of a data frame and a BAR frame over a plurality of links between the receive end and a transmit end, where the plurality of links includes a first link. The receive end receives a block acknowledgment request BAR frame over the first link, where the BAR frame carries SSN_1 corresponding to the first link. The receive end adjusts, based on SSNs corresponding to all the links, a value of a current starting sequence number WinStart of a scoreboard window. The receive end processes, based on the adjusted WinStart, a data frame received over the plurality of links. The receive end can adaptively adjust the WinStart.

There is provided a communication apparatus that complies with an IEEE 802.11 series standard, comprising: data transmitting unit for transmitting data frames each including a data unit to an other communication apparatus a plurality of times continuously; generating unit for generating a Block Ack Request (BAR) frame; BAR transmitting unit for transmitting the BAR frame to the other communication apparatus after transmission of the data frames the plurality of times continuously; and receiving unit for receiving a Block Ack (BA) frame as a response to the BAR frame, wherein the generating unit indicates a sequence number for a data unit in an initial data frame using a predetermined field in the BAR frame, and the predetermined field includes a different field from a Starting Sequence Number field in the BAR frame.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for efficient hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process utilization for semi-persistent and dynamic data transmissions, wherein a reserved HARQ process identification (ID) can be reused. A subset of a plurality of HARQ process IDs is reserved to use for a semi-persistent allocation, and data is transmitted based on the semi-persistent allocation. A dynamic allocation is received via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). At least one of the reserved HARQ process IDs is selectively used for transmitting data based on the dynamic allocation.

In order to appropriately estimate the number of radio frames that fail to be acquired, an estimation apparatus 200 includes: a memory storing instructions; and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to: acquire a plurality of radio frames transmitted and received through a radio channel; specify key frames, based on time information of the plurality of acquired radio frames; calculate a sum of time lengths of at least a part of the plurality of radio frames being located between two adjacent ones of the key frames; and estimate a number of unacquired radio frames, based on the specified key frames and the calculated sum, the unacquired radio frames being radio frames failing to be acquired.
