Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus of determining frequency hopping for a channel, and a computer storage medium. The method includes: determining, by a terminal, a first bandwidth corresponding to a bandwidth part, where the first bandwidth corresponding to the bandwidth part is less than a second bandwidth corresponding to a system bandwidth; determining, by the terminal based on the first bandwidth corresponding to the bandwidth part, a frequency hopping step corresponding to an uplink channel; and determining, by the terminal based on the frequency hopping step corresponding to the uplink channel, a frequency domain position used for transmitting the uplink channel.

Dependent claims

A method of determining frequency hopping for a channel, the method comprising:

determining, by a terminal, a first bandwidth corresponding to a bandwidth part, wherein the first bandwidth corresponding to the bandwidth part is less than a second bandwidth corresponding to a system bandwidth;
determining, by the terminal based on the first bandwidth corresponding to the bandwidth part, a frequency hopping step corresponding to an uplink channel;
and
determining, by the terminal based on the frequency hopping step corresponding to the uplink channel, a frequency domain position used for transmitting the uplink channel,
wherein determining, by the terminal based on the first bandwidth corresponding to the bandwidth part, the frequency hopping step corresponding to the uplink channel comprises:
determining, by the terminal based on the following formula, the frequency hopping step corresponding to the uplink channel:
WH=nW, wherein
WH is the frequency hopping step corresponding to the uplink channel,
W is the first bandwidth corresponding to the bandwidth part,
n is a proportionality coefficient,
n=1/m, and
m is a positive integer greater than 1.
