determining, by the terminal, a quantity of the bits of the precoding information of each of the precoding granules according to the quantity of the precoding granules; and

determining, by the terminal, the bits of the precoding information of each of the precoding granules in the N bits of precoding information according to the quantity of the bits of the precoding information of each of the precoding granules.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein acquiring by the terminal the precoding matrix of each of the precoding granules comprises:

selecting, by the terminal from a precoding matrix group corresponding to each of the precoding granules, the precoding matrix indicated by bits of the precoding information of the precoding granule.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein

the precoding matrix group corresponding to any one of the precoding granules is same as the precoding matrix group corresponding to any other one of the precoding granules, or the precoding matrix group corresponding to any one of the precoding granules is different from the precoding matrix group corresponding to any other one of the precoding granules, or the precoding matrix groups corresponding to respective some of the precoding granules are same.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the precoding matrix group corresponding to each of the precoding granules is notified through a pre-acquired signaling or is pre-agreed.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining by the terminal the quantity of the precoding granules according to the scheduling resource comprises:

determining, by the terminal, the quantity of the precoding granules according to size information of the scheduling resource in the control signaling; or

determining, by the terminal, the quantity of the precoding granules according to a size of the precoding granule indicated by another signaling being pre-received and a size of the scheduling resource.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a same precoding matrix is used by the subbands comprised in each of the precoding granules, and a quantity of the subbands comprised in each of the precoding granules is indicated by a signaling or is a preset value.

8. A precoding matrix indication method, comprising:

generating, by a network side device, a control signaling comprising N bits of precoding information, wherein the N bits of precoding information comprises bits of the precoding information of each of pre-coding granules comprised in a scheduling resource of a terminal, and a precoding matrix of each of precoding granules is indicated by respective bits of the precoding information, and the N is a positive integer; and
