Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, where a UE determines that uplink control information to be sent to an eNB in an uplink subframe includes channel state information (CSI) and a scheduling request (SR). The UE further determines a first uplink channel resource for sending the CSI and the SR to the eNB. The first uplink channel resource has an SR sending format and is used to send the CSI. The UE then sends the CSI and the SR to the eNB on the first uplink channel resource in the uplink subframe.
