The present application discloses an uplink transmission method, including: generating, by a media access control (MAC) layer of a first device, MAC information, then generating a first primitive carrying the MAC information, and sending the first primitive to an adjacent higher layer of the MAC layer of the first device; receiving, by the adjacent higher layer of the MAC layer of the first device, the first primitive, then generating an adjacent higher layer message carrying the MAC information, and sending the adjacent higher layer message to an adjacent higher layer of a MAC layer of a second device; and receiving, by the adjacent higher layer of the MAC layer of the second device, the adjacent higher layer message, then generating a second primitive carrying the MAC information, and sending the second primitive to the MAC layer of the second device.
