Abstract

A resource scheduling method and a communication apparatus are disclosed. The resource scheduling method includes: A network device determines scheduling indication information, where the scheduling indication information is used to indicate that the network device performs scheduling for one transmission unit, or the scheduling indication information is used to indicate that the network device performs scheduling for multiple transmission units. The network device sends the scheduling indication information to a terminal. In this application, when there are multiple transmission units, a manner in which the terminal simultaneously performs transmission for the multiple transmission units may be explicitly indicated. In addition, this helps reduce overheads of performing LBT by the terminal for the multiple transmission units.
