Claim 7:
8. An apparatus for determining frequency hopping for a channel, the apparatus comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories, configured to store computer-readable instructions executable by the one or more processors,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
determine a first bandwidth size corresponding to a bandwidth part, wherein the first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth part is less than or equal to a bandwidth size of a carrier;
determine, based on the first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth part, a frequency hopping step-size corresponding to an uplink channel; and
determine, based on the frequency hopping step-size corresponding to the uplink channel, a frequency domain position used for transmitting the uplink channel,
wherein determining, based on the first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth part, the frequency hopping step-size corresponding to the uplink channel comprises:
determining, based on the following formula, the frequency hopping step-size corresponding to the uplink channel: WH=nW, wherein WH is the frequency hopping step-size corresponding to the uplink channel, W is the first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth part, n is a scale factor, n=1/m, and m is a positive integer greater than 1, wherein m=2 or 4,

wherein determining the first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth part comprises:
receiving first configuration information, and determining, based on the first configuration information, the first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth part,

wherein determining, based on the frequency hopping step-size corresponding to the uplink channel, the frequency domain position used for transmitting the uplink channel comprises:
determining a frequency domain position of a second step of frequency hopping based on a frequency domain position of a first step of frequency hopping and the frequency hopping step-size corresponding to the uplink channel, wherein the frequency domain position of the first step of frequency hopping and the frequency domain position of the second step of frequency hopping are frequency domain positions used for transmitting the uplink channel.
