Resource configuration method and apparatus
This application provides a resource configuration method and apparatus. A multiplexing type between a second functional unit and each of one or more antenna panels of a first functional unit is indicated to an IAB node, so that the IAB node obtains a resource configuration of an MT or a resource configuration of a DU based on the multiplexing type. This helps implement a resource configuration in the IAB node in a case of a plurality of antenna panels.
