Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de communication, qui sont utilisés pour résoudre le problème dans l'état de la technique lié à des surdébits de signalisation relativement élevés provoqués du fait qu'il existe un grand nombre de champs d'un PRG pour indiquer une bande passante de planification d'un PUSCH. Dans la présente invention, le procédé consiste à : recevoir, au moyen d'un dispositif terminal, en provenance d'un dispositif de réseau, des premières informations pour indiquer des bandes passantes de saut de fréquence de ressources SRS, et des secondes informations pour indiquer des indices de certaines ou de la totalité des ressources SRS ; en fonction des premières informations et des secondes informations, déterminer N PRG correspondant à une bande passante de planification d'un PUSCH ; et envoyer le PUSCH selon les N PRG, N étant un nombre entier positif. Les PRG déterminés au moyen de bandes passantes à saut de fréquence de ressources SRS et d'indices des ressources SRS sont relativement précis, ce qui facilite l'amélioration de la précision des PRG déterminés, et facilite ainsi l'amélioration des performances de transmission d'un PUSCH et réduit les surdébits de signalisation.
