Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 6:
7. An apparatus, wherein the apparatus is applied to a second node and configured to determine a resource in a relay system and comprises:
a processor, configured to obtain a first hard resource set and a second hard resource set of a first node, wherein the first hard resource set and the second hard resource set are consecutive hard resources, and the second node is an upper-level node of the first node, wherein
the processor is further configured to determine a first resource set, wherein the first resource set is located between the first hard resource set and the second hard resource set;
the processor is further configured to obtain a first threshold x and a second threshold y; and
when a time difference Dh between a start time of a symbol in the first resource set and an end time of a last symbol in the first hard resource set is greater than x, and a time difference De between a start time of a first symbol in the second hard resource set and an end time of the symbol in the first resource set is greater than y, the processor is further configured to determine that the symbol in the first resource set is available; and
a transceiver, configured to perform data transmission with the first node using the symbol in the first resource set.
