Claim 0:
1. A method of time slot indication, applied to a terminal device, comprising:
acquiring N pieces of format indication information from first control information sent from a network side; wherein N is an integer greater than 1;
determining N time slots corresponding to the N pieces of format indication information in the first control information; and
determining formats of the N time slots based on the N pieces of format indication information;
wherein each of the N time slots corresponding to the N pieces of format indication information is a time slot of which at least a partial format is flexible;
wherein at least part of the N time slots are continuous or discontinuous;
wherein the N time slots comprises at least one time slot of a first type containing an unidentified portion and at least one time slot not containing an unknown symbol;
wherein before acquiring the N pieces of format indication information from the first control information sent from the network side, the method further comprises:
receiving second configuration information sent from the network side, wherein the second configuration information only indicates the time slot of the first type in the N time slots, does not indicate the time slot not containing an unknown symbol in the N time slots;
receiving only an indication of the time slot of the first type and not receiving an indication of the time slot not containing an unknown symbol based on the second configuration information in a case that the N time slots comprise both the time slot of the first type and the time slot not containing an unknown symbol;
determining at least one time slot of the first type based on the second configuration information sent from the network side, wherein the time slot of the first type is a time slot of which at least partial format is capable of being determined based on control information;

wherein determining the N time slots corresponding to the N pieces of format indication information in the first control information comprises:
implementing a correspondence according to the time slot of the first type and the N pieces of format indication information of the first control information;

wherein determining the formats of the N time slots based on the N pieces of format indication information comprises:
determining a format only for the time slot of the first type according to the correspondence and not determining a format for the time slot not containing an unknown symbol in the case that the N time slots comprise both the time slot of the first type and the time slot not containing an unknown symbol.
