Embodiments of the present invention provide a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgment transmission method and an apparatus. The hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgment transmission method includes: receiving, by user equipment, on a first serving cell in a subframe n-k, a PDSCH or a downlink control channel indicating downlink SPS release; and sending, by the user equipment in a subframe n, an HARQ-ACK corresponding to the PDSCH or the downlink control channel that is of the first serving cell and that is in the subframe n-k, where an HARQ-ACK timing includes a first HARQ-ACK timing or a second HARQ-ACK timing.
