7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining, by the terminal device, the second physical resource used for the uplink and downlink guard period in the time-domain resource unit according to the resource reservation indication information, comprises:

determining, by the terminal device, a location of the uplink and downlink guard period, or a length of the uplink and downlink guard period, or a location of the uplink and downlink guard period and a length of the uplink and downlink guard period, in the time-domain resource unit according to the resource reservation indication information.

8. A method for signal transmission, comprising:

determining, by a network device, downlink control information (DCI), wherein the downlink control information carries resource reservation indication information, and the resource reservation indication information indicates to a terminal device whether one of a plurality of physical resources is to be reserved in a time-domain resource unit; and

sending, by the network device, the downlink control information to the terminal device, so that the terminal device determines a first physical resource used for transmitting a first signal in the time-domain resource unit according to the resource reservation indication information, or determines a second physical resource used for an uplink and downlink guard period in the time-domain resource unit according to the resource reservation indication information,

wherein the downlink control information is common downlink control information, the common downlink control information is information transmitted in a common search space.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein when the resource reservation indication information indicates to the terminal device that one of the plurality of physical resources is to be reserved in the time-domain resource unit, the resource reservation indication information comprises a location of the physical resource that the terminal device is to reserve, or a size of the physical resource that the terminal device is to reserve, or a location of the physical resource that the terminal device is to reserve and a size of the physical resource that the terminal device is to reserve.
