Abstract

Provided are an information transmission method and device. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, a first synchronization signal block sent by a network device; and obtaining, by the terminal device, resource information of a second synchronization signal block based on the second information if the first information indicates that RMSI is not present, where the first synchronization signal block comprises a first physical broadcast channel (PBCH), and information carried on the first PBCH comprises first information and second information. The first information is used for indicating whether remaining minimum system information (RMSI) is present, and when the first information indicates that RMSI is not present, the second information is used for indicating resource information of a second synchronization signal block.
