The present invention provides a method for acknowledging RLC data packet transmission and an RLC AM entity sender. In embodiments of the present invention, an RLC AM entity sender sends an RLC data packet, which includes first indication information, to an RLC AM entity receiver through a sender MAC entity and a receiver MAC entity. The RLC AM entity receiver is instructed not to feed back acknowledgment information of the RLC data packet. Local acknowledgment information of the RLC data packet that is fed back by the sender MAC entity is received, so that the RLC AM entity sender can determine whether the transmission of the transmitted packet is successful.
