The present invention discloses a method for transmitting uplink control signaling in a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). The method includes: when two transport blocks/codewords are transmitted in the PUSCH, mapping uplink control signaling to the layer corresponding to one of the two transport blocks / codewords to transmit. The present invention also discloses an apparatus for transmitting uplink control signaling in the PUSCH. The apparatus includes: a mapping unit, used for mapping uplink control signaling to the layer corresponding to one of two transport blocks/codewords when the two transport blocks/codewords are transmitted in the PUSCH; and a transmission unit, used for transmitting the uplink control signaling. The present invention effectively solves the problem of transmitting uplink control signaling in the PUSCH when the PUSCH uses spatial multiplexing in an LTE-A system, and ensures the data capacity. The channel quality corresponding to the transport blocks selected in various ways is relatively good, thereby ensuring the transmission quality of the uplink control signaling.
