1. A method, comprising:
determining, at a network device that is at a network side of a communication network and serves a terminal device in a cell, to trigger a configuration or a reconfiguration of a Preconfigured Uplink Resource (PUR) for transmission from the terminal device to the network device;
in response to determining to trigger the configuration or the reconfiguration of the PUR, determining by the network device a set of resources to be allocated for further transmission from the terminal device to the network device based on a Transport Block Size (TBS) associated with the further transmission;
generating by the network device configuration information or reconfiguration information of the PUR based on the set of the resources; and
transmitting by the network device the configuration information or reconfiguration information to the terminal device.
