1. A communication method, comprising:
receiving, by a terminal device, a resource pool indication from a network device, the resource pool indication is used to indicate M resource pools to which K subchannels belong, and a quantity of bits of the resource pool indication is determined based on at least one of N and M;
receiving, by the terminal device, a subchannel indication from the network device, the subchannel indication is used to indicate the K subchannels used for sidelink communication, the K subchannels belong to the M resource pools in the N resource pools, the N resource pools are resource pools corresponding to a bandwidth part (BWP) used for sidelink communication, N is a positive integer greater than 1, 1≤M≤N, M is a positive integer, K is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, a quantity of bits of the subchannel indication is determined based on a quantity of subchannels comprised in a reference resource pool, and the reference resource pool is a resource pool in the N resource pools; and
performing, by the terminal device, the sidelink communication on the K subchannels.
