Claim 0:
1. An apparatus, wherein the apparatus is applied to a first node and configured to determine a resource in a relay system and comprises:
a transceiver, configured to receive resource indication information transmitted by an upper-level node, wherein the resource indication information indicates a transmission direction of a first resource set, the first resource set is located between a first hard resource set and a second hard resource set, and the first hard resource set and the second hard resource set are consecutive hard resources; and
a processor, configured to determine a first threshold x and a second threshold y based on the resource indication information, wherein
when t3−t1≥x, and t2−t4≥y, the processor is further configured to determine that a symbol in the first resource set is available, wherein
t1 is an end time of a last symbol in the first hard resource set, t2 is a start time of a first symbol in the second hard resource set, t3 is a start time of the symbol in the first resource set, and t4 is an end time of the symbol in the first resource set; and
the transceiver is further configured to communicate with the upper-level node on the symbol in the first resource set based on the resource indication information.
