1. A method for indicating a resource location, comprising:
sending, by a base station, resource location information to a user equipment (UE), wherein the resource location information is indicative of (i) a frequency-domain location of a first resource according to a frequency domain offset from the first resource to a boundary location of a second resource in a frequency domain, and (ii) a bandwidth of the first resource;
wherein the first resource comprises a common control resource set, the second resource comprises a first synchronization signal (SS) block, and a frequency-domain location of the second resource is indicated by a frequency domain offset from the second resource to a reference point,
wherein the reference point comprises a boundary of a second SS block, and
wherein the frequency domain offset from the first resource to the boundary location of the second resource is represented by a combination of a number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) and a number of sub-carriers.
