Abstract

A resource configuration method, apparatus and storage medium are disclosed. The method includes: sending, by a network device, first information to a terminal, where the first information is used by the terminal to determine not to send data and/or receive data on a first resource; and the first information includes first indication information used to indicate a first resource block (RB) and second indication information used to indicate a subcarrier occupied by the first resource on the first RB; or the first information includes third indication information used to indicate a first subcarrier, and the first subcarrier is used to determine the first resource. The resource configuration method and apparatus and the storage medium that are provided in the present disclosure can improve resource configuration flexibility.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A resource configuration method, comprising:
sending, by a network device, first information to a terminal, wherein the first information is used by the terminal to determine not to send data and/or receive data on a first resource,
wherein the first information comprises first indication information and second indication information, the first indication information comprises first indices of at least two contiguous resource blocks (RBs), the first indices used to indicate a frequency location of a center subcarrier in a first system, and the second indication information comprises a second index indicating a number of subcarriers of one of the at least two contiguous resource blocks occupied by the first resource, the second index used to indicate a frequency location, in the first system, of a resource occupied by a second system,
wherein the frequency location, in the first system, of the resource occupied by the second system is used to determine the first resource, and
wherein the first information further comprises fifth indication information and sixth indication information, the fifth indication information is used to indicate an offset, on one RB of the at least two contiguous RBs, of a downlink narrowband reference signal (NRS) or an offset, on one RB of the at least two contiguous RBs, of a cell-specific reference signal (CRS), and the sixth indication information is used to indicate a quantity of NRS ports; and the first resource is a resource determined by the terminal based on the first indication information, the second indication information, the fifth indication information, and the sixth indication information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first information further comprises fourth indication information, and the fourth indication information is used to indicate a subframe or a slot occupied by the first resource; and the first resource is a resource determined by the terminal based on the first indication information, the second indication information, the fourth indication information, the fifth indication information, and the sixth indication information.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a sum of a quantity of subcarriers occupied by the first resource on the at least two contiguous RBs is twelve.

4. A resource configuration method, comprising:
receiving, by a terminal, first information sent by a network device, wherein the first information is used by the terminal to determine not to send data and/or receive data on a first resource,
wherein the first information comprises first indication information and second indication information, the first indication information comprises first indices of at least two contiguous resource blocks (RBs), the first indices used to indicate a frequency location of a center subcarrier in a first system, and the second indication information comprises a second index indicating a number of subcarriers of one of the at least two contiguous resource blocks occupied by the first resource, the second index used to indicate a frequency location, in the first system, of a resource occupied by a second system, and
wherein the frequency location, in the first system, of the resource occupied by the second system is used to determine the first resource; and
determining, by the terminal, the first resource based on the first information,
wherein the first information further comprises fifth indication information and sixth indication information, the fifth indication information is used to indicate an offset, on one RB of the at least two contiguous RBs, of a downlink narrowband reference signal (NRS) or an offset, on one RB of the at least two contiguous RBs, of a cell-specific reference signal (CRS), and the sixth indication information is used to indicate a quantity of NRS ports; and the first resource is a resource determined by the terminal based on the first indication information, the second indication information, the fifth indication information, and the sixth indication information.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the first information further comprises fourth indication information, and the fourth indication information is used to indicate a subframe or a slot occupied by the first resource; and the first resource is a resource determined by the terminal based on the first indication information, the second indication information, the fourth indication information, the fifth indication information, and the sixth indication information.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein a sum of a quantity of subcarriers occupied by the first resource on the at least two contiguous RBs is twelve.

7. A resource configuration apparatus, comprising:
a transmitter, configured to send first information to a terminal, wherein the first information is used by the terminal to determine not to send data and/or receive data on a first resource,
wherein the first information comprises first indication information and second indication information, the first indication information comprises first indices of at least two contiguous resource blocks (RBs), the first indices used to indicate a frequency location of a center subcarrier in a first system, and the second indication information comprises a second index indicating a number of subcarriers of one of the at least two contiguous resource blocks occupied by the first resource, the second index used to indicate a frequency location, in the first system, of a resource occupied by a second system,
wherein the frequency location, in the first system, of the resource occupied by the second system is used to determine the first resource, and
wherein the first information further comprises fifth indication information and sixth indication information, the fifth indication information is used to indicate an offset, on one RB of the at least two contiguous RBs, of a downlink narrowband reference signal (NRS) or an offset, on one RB of the at least two contiguous RBs, of a cell-specific reference signal (CRS), and the sixth indication information is used to indicate a quantity of NRS ports; and the first resource is a resource determined by the terminal based on the first indication information, the second indication information, the fifth indication information, and the sixth indication information.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the first information further comprises fourth indication information, and the fourth indication information is used to indicate a subframe or a slot occupied by the first resource; and the first resource is a resource determined by the terminal based on the first indication information, the second indication information, the fourth indication information, the fifth indication information, and the sixth indication information.

9. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein a sum of a quantity of subcarriers occupied by the first resource on the at least two contiguous RBs is twelve.

10. A resource configuration apparatus, comprising:
a receiver, configured to receive first information sent by a network device, wherein the first information is used by a terminal to determine not to send data and/or receive data on a first resource,
wherein the first information comprises first indication information and second indication information, the first indication information comprises first indices of at least two contiguous resource blocks (RBs), the first indices used to indicate a frequency location of a center subcarrier in a first system, and the second indication information comprises a second index indicating a number of subcarriers of one of the at least two contiguous resource blocks occupied by the first resource, the second inde
