1. A time domain resource format configuration method, comprising:
obtaining, by an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) donor, first time domain resource format information, wherein the first time domain resource format information indicates that time domain resources in a first periodicity are distributed in an order of an uplink time domain resource, a flexible time domain resource, and a downlink time domain resource; and
sending, by the IAB donor, the first time domain resource format information to a first IAB node,
wherein the first time domain resource format information comprises a bitmap, the bitmap comprises at least one bit, the at least one bit is in one-to-one correspondence with at least one periodicity, and each bit indicates that time domain resources in a periodicity corresponding to the bit are distributed in an order of a downlink time domain resource, a flexible time domain resource, and an uplink time domain resource or distributed in the order of an uplink time domain resource, a flexible time domain resource, and a downlink time domain resource; and
wherein the at least one periodicity comprises the first periodicity, the at least one bit comprises a first bit, and the first bit indicates that the time domain resources in the first periodicity are distributed in the order of an uplink time domain resource, a flexible time domain resource, and a downlink time domain resource.
