Abstract

A transmit end obtains a frequency hopping parameter and resource allocation information of a to-be-transmitted message, where the frequency hopping parameter includes at least one of bandwidth part indication information, beam indication information, reference signal configuration information, subcarrier spacing indication information, transmission waveform indication information, slot type indication information, channel type indication information, or transmission carrier indication information. The transmit end determines, based on the resource allocation information and the frequency hopping parameter, a physical resource used to send the to-be-transmitted message, where the physical resource includes information about a frequency domain resource on which the to-be-transmitted message is mapped in at least one time unit. The transmit end sends the to-be-transmitted message by using the physical resource.

Claims (52)

1. A communication method, comprising:

obtaining, by a terminal, bandwidth part indication information and resource allocation information of a message, wherein the message comprises first data and second data;

determining, by the terminal based on the bandwidth part indication information and the resource allocation information of the message, a physical resource of the message, wherein the physical resource of the message comprises a first slot, a first frequency domain resource, and a second frequency domain resource;

sending a first reference signal and the first data on a portion of symbols in the first slot and on the first frequency domain resource; and

sending a second reference signal and the second data on a remaining portion of the symbols in the first slot and on the second frequency domain resource, wherein the second reference signal occupies the first symbol of the remaining portion of the symbols in the first slot.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bandwidth part indication information comprises indication of a bandwidth part occupied by the message, and a size of a bandwidth part in a carrier bandwidth carrying the message.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the resource allocation information of the message comprises a resource allocation of the message within a bandwidth part occupied by the message.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second data occupies symbols other than the first symbol of the remaining portion of the symbols in the first slot.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining, by the terminal, slot type indication information; and

wherein determining the physical resource of the message comprises:

determining, by the terminal based on the slot type indication information, the bandwidth part indication information, and the resource allocation information of the message, the physical resource of the message.

6. A communication method, comprising:

obtaining, by a base station, bandwidth part indication information and resource allocation information of a message, wherein the message comprises first data and second data;

determining, by the base station based on the bandwidth part indication information and the resource allocation information of the message, a physical resource of the message, wherein the physical resource of the message comprises a first slot, a first frequency domain resource, and a second frequency domain resource;

receiving, by the base station, a first reference signal and the first data on a portion of symbols in the first slot and on the first frequency domain resource; and

receiving, by the base station, a second reference signal and the second data on a remaining portion of the symbols in the first slot and on the second frequency domain resource, wherein the second reference signal occupies the first symbol of the remaining portion of the symbols in the first slot.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the bandwidth part indication information comprises indication of a bandwidth part occupied by the message, and a size of a bandwidth part in a carrier bandwidth carrying the message.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the resource allocation information of the message comprises a resource allocation of the message within a bandwidth part occupied by the message.

9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the second data occupies symbols other than the first symbol of the remaining portion of the symbols in the first slot.

10. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

obtaining, by the base station, slot type indication information; and

wherein determining the physical resource of the message comprises:

determining, by the base station based on the slot type indication information, the bandwidth part indication information, and the resource allocation information of the message, the physical resource of the message.

11. An apparatus, comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including executable instructions; and

at least one processor, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:

obtain bandwidth part indication information and resource allocation information of a message, wherein the message comprises first data and second data;

determine, based on the bandwidth part indication information and the resource allocation information of the message, a physical resource of the message, wherein the physical resource of the message comprises a first slot, a first frequency domain resource, and a second frequency domain resource;

send a first reference signal and the first data on a portion of symbols in the first slot and on the first frequency domain resource; and

send a second reference signal and the second data on a remaining portion of the symbols in the first slot and on the second frequency domain resource, wherein the second reference signal occupies the first symbol of the remaining portion of the symbols in the first slot.

12. The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the bandwidth part indication information comprises indication of a bandwidth part occupied by the message, and a size of a bandwidth part in a carrier bandwidth carrying the message.

13. The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the resource allocation information of the message comprises a resource allocation of the message within a bandwidth part occupied by the message.

14. The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the second data occupies symbols other than the first symbol of the remaining portion of the symbols in the first slot.

15. The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the apparatus to:

obtain slot type indication information; and

wherein determining the physical resource of the message comprises:

determining, based on slot type indication information, the bandwidth part indication information, and the resource allocation information of the message, the physical resource of the message.

16. An apparatus, comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including executable instructions; and

at least one processor, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:

obtain bandwidth part indication information and resource allocation information of a message, wherein the message comprises first data and second data;

determine, based on the bandwidth part indication information and the resource allocation information of the message, a physical resource of the message, wherein the physical resource of the message comprises a first slot, a first frequency domain resource, and a second frequency domain resource;

receive a first reference signal and the first data on a portion of symbols in the first slot and on the first frequency domain resource; and

receive a second reference signal and the second data on a remaining portion of the symbols in the first slot and on the second frequency domain resource, wherein the second reference signal occupies the first symbol of the remaining portion of the symbols in the first slot.

17. The apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the bandwidth part indication information comprises indication of a bandwidth part occupied by the message, and a size of a bandwidth part in a carrier bandwidth carrying the message.

18. The apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the resource allocation information of the message comprises a resource allocation of the message within a bandwidth part occupied by the message.
