A resource configuration method, the method comprising: • sending, by a network device, first information to a terminal, wherein the first information is used by the terminal to determine not to send data and/or receive data on certain resource elements, REs (step 201), the first information comprising: ∘ first indication information and second indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate a frequency location of a center subcarrier in an LTE system, and the second indication information is used to indicate a frequency location, in the LTE system, of a resource block, RB, occupied by an NB-IoT anchor carrier, wherein the NB-IoT operates in an inband mode and an LTE cell identifier is the same as an NB-IoT cell identifier and the frequency location, in the LTE system, of the RB occupied by the NB-IoT system is used to determine at the terminal the RB, wherein the first information further comprises: ∘ third indication information, the third indication information being used to indicate a frequency offset of a downlink narrowband reference signal, NRS, of the NB-IoT system within the RB, the frequency offset of the NRS being the same as a frequency offset of a cell-specific reference signal, CRS, of the LTE system, and ∘ fourth indication information used to indicate a quantity of CRS ports without indicating a quantity of NRS ports, wherein the quantity of CRS ports is 1 or 2 and the quantity of NRS ports is the same as the quantity of CRS ports, wherein the third indication information together with the fourth indication information are used to determine at the terminal the certain REs within the RB. • sending, by a network device, first information to a terminal, wherein the first information is used by the terminal to determine not to send data and/or receive data on certain resource elements, REs (step 201), the first information comprising: ∘ first indication information and second indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate a frequency location of a center subcarrier in an LTE system, and the second indication information is used to indicate a frequency location, in the LTE system, of a resource block, RB, occupied by an NB-IoT anchor carrier, wherein the NB-IoT operates in an inband mode and an LTE cell identifier is the same as an NB-IoT cell identifier and the frequency location, in the LTE system, of the RB occupied by the NB-IoT system is used to determine at the terminal the RB, wherein the first information further comprises: ∘ third indication information, the third indication information being used to indicate a frequency offset of a downlink narrowband reference signal, NRS, of the NB-IoT system within the RB, the frequency offset of the NRS being the same as a frequency offset of a cell-specific reference signal, CRS, of the LTE system, and ∘ fourth indication information used to indicate a quantity of CRS ports without indicating a quantity of NRS ports, wherein the quantity of CRS ports is 1 or 2 and the quantity of NRS ports is the same as the quantity of CRS ports, wherein the third indication information together with the fourth indication information are used to determine at the terminal the certain REs within the RB. ∘ first indication information and second indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate a frequency location of a center subcarrier in an LTE system, and the second indication information is used to indicate a frequency location, in the LTE system, of a resource block, RB, occupied by an NB-IoT anchor carrier, wherein the NB-IoT operates in an inband mode and an LTE cell identifier is the same as an NB-IoT cell identifier and the frequency location, in the LTE system, of the RB occupied by the NB-IoT system is used to determine at the terminal the RB, wherein the first information further comprises: ∘ third indication information, the third indication information being used to indicate a frequency offset of a downlink narrowband reference signal, NRS, of the NB-IoT system within the RB, the frequency offset of the NRS being the same as a frequency offset of a cell-specific reference signal, CRS, of the LTE system, and ∘ fourth indication information used to indicate a quantity of CRS ports without indicating a quantity of NRS ports, wherein the quantity of CRS ports is 1 or 2 and the quantity of NRS ports is the same as the quantity of CRS ports, wherein the third indication information together with the fourth indication information are used to determine at the terminal the certain REs within the RB.
