Abstract

Embodiments of this application disclose a resource configuration method, apparatus, and system. A network device sends, to a terminal device, resource configuration information of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resource that meets a predetermined rule. The terminal device receives the resource configuration information of a DMRS, where the received resource configuration information includes two or more groups of resource configuration information, and the DMRS is used for demodulating a physical data channel. In the two or more groups of resource configuration information, a DMRS resource configured by any group of resource configuration information does not intersect with a physical data channel resource corresponding to another group of resource configuration information.
