The invention provides a direction connection
hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback indication method and device. The method comprises following steps: assigning a target resource to
user equipment to carry out
direct communication; sending a downlink
control signal to the
user equipment, wherein the downlink
control signal comprises the target resource and first indication information,and the first indication information is used to indicate at least one of followings: when the
user equipment uses the target resource assigned by the
base station to carry out direction connection
unicast communication, whether to carry out direction connection HARQ feedback; when the user equipment uses the target resource assigned by the
base station to carry out direction connection
multicast communication, whether to carry out direction connection HARQ feedback; and when the user equipment uses the target resource assigned by the
base station to carry out direction connection
multicast communication, carrying out the feedback mode of direction connection HARQ feedback. Based on the target resource assigned to the user equipment by the base
station, when the user equipment uses the target resource to carry out direction connection
unicast and / or
multicast communication, the method can judge whether to carry out direction connection HARQ feedback, and during the process of direct connection
multicast communication, the feedback mode of direction connection HARQ feedback is performed.
