The invention relates to a wireless link protocol RLP frame retransmission method and apparatus, the method comprises following steps: a RLP layer preserves a lost frame sequence number in a time delay caching area, when the received frame sequence number L_SEQ is smaller than the expecting received lower frame sequence number, if no sequence number same as the L_SEQ is in the time delay caching area, so that the received frame in the present is discarded, the sequence number of the lost frame is calculated, and the corresponding sequence number can be preserved in the time delay caching area, meanwhile, the lost frame sequence number before the presetting value is inserted into a negative response NAK list, when the transmitting time is coming, the NAK is transmitted to the opposite terminal RLP layer, the lost frame is required for transmitting; the apparatus comprises a received module, a control module, a time delay caching module, a reordering caching module, an NAK list module and a transmitting module. The invention improves the compatibility of the RLP layer for various application scenes, can ensure that the RLP layer retransmission rate is low and the transmission rate of the RLP layer is constant under the condition of large shake.
