Embodiments of the present invention provide an information transmission method and device. The method includes: detecting, by user equipment in a downlink subframe set N, physical downlink shared channel PDSCH transmission or a downlink control channel indicating downlink semi-persistent scheduling SPS release; sending, by the user equipment, in an uplink subframe n corresponding to the downlink subframe set N, a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgment response that corresponds to the PDSCH transmission or corresponds to the downlink control channel indicating downlink semi-persistent scheduling SPS release, where n is a subframe number and n is an integer greater than or equal to 0.
