1. A communication method, applied in a terminal device, comprising:
receiving, first indication information, wherein the first indication information indicates an available frequency domain resource, in a bandwidth, that is used by the terminal device for communication, wherein the bandwidth is one carrier bandwidth or one carrier bandwidth part, the available frequency domain resource comprises a plurality of non-contiguous frequency domain resource groups, and a frequency domain resource group comprises one or more contiguous frequency domain resource blocks; and
determining, the available frequency domain resource in the bandwidth based on the first indication information; wherein
the first indication information comprises N first indication units, the N first indication units
respectively indicate N frequency domain resource groups and N is a positive integer greater than 1, wherein each first indication unit of the N first indication units indicates starting positions of the frequency domain resource blocks of a corresponding frequency domain resource group, and indicates a length of the frequency domain resource blocks of the corresponding frequency domain resource group.
