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.
