Abstract

This application provides a method and apparatus for obtaining a resource indication value. The method includes: a network device determines a bit quantity of a resource indication value based on a first bandwidth part, sends downlink control information, which includes the resource indication value and indicates a data channel in a second bandwidth part, and sends or receives the data channel occupying a plurality of contiguous virtual resource blocks, wherein a number RB start identifying the starting virtual resource block of the contiguous virtual resource blocks, a quantity L RBs of the contiguous virtual resource blocks, and the resource indication value RIV satisfy following relation: RB start =└K·RB′ start ┘, and L RBs =└K·L′ RBs ┘, wherein K is a positive number and satisfies K≤└N RB BWP2 /N RB BWP1 ┘, and N RB BWP2 refers to a bandwidth of the second bandwidth part; and RIV=N RB BWP1 (L′ RBs −1)+RB′ start when (L′ RBs −1)≤└N RB BWP1 /2┘, or RIV=N RB BWP1 (N RB BWP1 −L′ RBs +1)+(N RB BWP1 −1−RB′ start ) when (L′ RBs −1)>└N RB BWP1 /2┘, wherein N RB BWP1 refers to a bandwidth of the first bandwidth part.
