An information transmission method includes: A terminal receives first signaling, where the first signaling includes a first field, a state value of the first field is used to indicate a first spatial relation parameter for receiving a first channel, the state value of the first field is a candidate state value corresponding to the first field, and at least one of the candidate state values corresponds to two or more spatial relation parameters. The terminal obtains one or more target spatial relation parameters in the first spatial relation parameter, and receives the first channel based on the one or more target spatial relation parameters. In this method, the terminal receives the first channel by receiving the first signaling sent by a base station and obtaining a target spatial relation parameter.
