A method for transmitting information includes: determining frequency information about a second carrier for bearing subsequent scheduling data information; determining a current radio frequency support capability of the user equipment; if the frequency of the second carrier exceeds the current radio frequency support capability of the user equipment, sending scheduling information about the second carrier to the user equipment through the first carrier; and continuing to transmit information to the user equipment through the second carrier according to the scheduling information about the second carrier. As such, subsequent scheduling information that may not be received by a user equipment due to a large carrier span can be reduced, thereby avoiding unnecessary retransmission, and saving system resources.
