Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a data transmission method, a network device, and user equipment, including: sending, by the network device, first indication information and second indication information to the user equipment, where the first indication information is used to indicate a frequency domain resource of a physical random access channel of the user equipment, the second indication information is physical layer control signaling, the second indication information is used to indicate a time domain resource of the physical random access channel, and a random access resource corresponding to the frequency domain resource and the time domain resource is used to carry random access information of the user equipment. In the embodiments of the present invention, a resource of a random access channel is dynamically indicated by using the physical layer control signaling, to improve random access resource allocation flexibility.
