Disclosed are a response message transmission method, a base station, and a user equipment (UE), to achieve an improved system performance while taking into account the system resource overhead. The method comprises: the UE confirming K bit of response message awaiting feedback; the UE confirming M number of channel resources awaiting selection, the M number of channel resources awaiting selection comprising J number of dynamic channel resources and N number of semi-static channel resources, wherein M=(J+N), 0=N=M, (M-N)=L=M, and M, L, and N are integers; the UE selecting at least one channel resource from the M number of channel resources, and selecting a piece of identification information for use in characterizing the response message awaiting feedback; on each of the selected channel resources, the UE transmitting the selected identification information for use in characterizing the response message awaiting feedback. Employment of the technical solution of the present invention allows to a certain degree an improved system performance and system throughput, while at the same time taking into account the system resource overhead.
