An information configuration method and apparatus, the method including receiving first configuration information, where the first configuration information includes configuration information of a time-frequency resource to which a positioning reference signal (PRS) is mapped and configuration information of a time-frequency resource to which a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block is mapped, determining, based on the first configuration information, the time-frequency resource to which the PRS is mapped and the time-frequency resource to which the SS/PBCH block is mapped, and skipping receiving, when the time-frequency resource to which the SS/PBCH block is mapped overlaps the time-frequency resource to which the PRS is mapped, the PRS on the overlapped time-frequency resource.
