Patent attributes
This application discloses an information transmission method, apparatus, and system, and belongs to the field of communications technologies. The method includes: generating, by a base station, amount indication information, where the amount indication information is used to indicate a maximum amount of downlink control information; sending, by the base station, the amount indication information to user equipment; receiving, by the user equipment, the amount indication information; and receiving, by the user equipment, downlink control information based on the amount indication information. In this application, the amount indication information is sent to the user equipment, so that the user equipment receives the downlink control information based on the amount indication information. This can resolve a problem that complexity of blind detection performed by the user equipment is relatively high, thereby reducing the complexity of the blind detection performed by the user equipment.
