Abstract

This application provides a resource indication method, a terminal device, and a network device. The method includes: determining time domain positions of demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) based on the mapping type of the physical shared channel and with reference to a position index of the last symbol occupied by the physical shared channel or a quantity of symbols occupied by the physical shared channel in the resource unit, where the position index of the last symbol occupied by the physical shared channel in the resource unit corresponds to the first type, and the quantity of symbols occupied by the physical shared channel in the resource unit corresponds to the second type.
