An uplink control information transmission method and an apparatus. The method includes determining, by a terminal device, according hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) information and a mapping relationship, a channel resource corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information, where a channel resource corresponding to an acknowledgement (ACK) and a channel resource corresponding to {ACK, negative acknowledgement (NACK)} in the mapping relationship are the same, generating, by the terminal device, an uplink signal based on the channel resource corresponding to the HARQ-ACK information, and sending, by the terminal device, the uplink signal.
