This application provides a method for generating hybrid automatic repeat request HARQ information and an apparatus. The method includes: A terminal device receives a first message sent by a network device. The first message is used to indicate that there is a bandwidth part BWP combination in a cell, the BWP combination includes an active BWP, and the BWP corresponds to a set of unified parameters. The terminal device generates HARQ information based on the unified parameters corresponding to the BWP combination. This application provides a method for generating HARQ information when there are a plurality of active BWPs.
