Claim 12:
13. A method for determining a resource in a relay system, comprising:
receiving, by a first node, 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;
determining, by the first node, a first threshold x and a second threshold y based on the resource indication information;
when t3−t1≥x, and t2−t4≥y, determining, by the first node, 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
communicating, by the first node, with the upper-level node using the symbol in the first resource set based on the resource indication information.
