Provided are method and apparatus for transmitting information. The method for transmitting information includes: determining an intersection between pieces of transmission information included in N first-type information elements; and in the case where the intersection is non-empty, determining first information. The first information includes at least one of: a difference set between pieces of transmission information included in any two first-type information elements of the N first-type information elements, Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback bits of the N first-type information elements, a mapping relationship between a bit field value corresponding to a bit indication field in downlink control information (DCI) and a parameter value indicated by the bit indication field in the DCI, the number of bits of each of the pieces of transmission information or a resource mapping manner of first-type information element. N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.
