Embodiments of this application disclose an information transmission method and an apparatus. The method includes: sending, by a terminal to a base station, capability indication information used to indicate whether the terminal supports non-coherent joint transmission; and receiving downlink control information sent by the base station, where the downlink control information is based on the capability indication information. According to the embodiments of this application, the base station can know whether the terminal supports NCJT, so as to select an appropriate transmission mode.
