The first radio resource belongs to a first resource set of K resource set(s), any of the K resource set(s) comprising a positive integer number of radio resource(s), K being a positive integer; the first signaling is used for determining a target parameter set, and the target parameter set is a first parameter set or a second parameter set, the first parameter comprising a positive integer number of first-type parameter(s) and the second parameter comprising a positive integer number of second-type parameter(s); the target parameter set is used for determining the first radio resource. The method herein applies to all requirements of uplink transmission reliability in various application scenarios.
