Method for determining frequency domain location of control resource set and related device

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one storage medium including executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor;
• wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
• receive configuration information of a first common control resource set, wherein the configuration information indicates where a physical resource block occupied by the first common control resource set is located in a first downlink bandwidth part;
• determine a frequency domain resource of the first common control resource set based on a frequency domain resource of the first downlink bandwidth part and the physical resource block occupied by the first common control resource set within the first downlink bandwidth part;
• and
• monitor a physical downlink control channel in the first common control resource set before the first downlink bandwidth part configured by system information block 1 (SIB1) takes effect, to obtain scheduling control information, wherein the first downlink bandwidth part configured by the SIB1 takes effect after a successful initial access of the terminal device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to carry out the following:

• receiving configuration information of a first common control resource set, wherein the configuration information indicates where a physical resource block occupied by the first common control resource set is located in a first downlink bandwidth part;
• determining a frequency domain resource of the first common control resource set based on a frequency domain resource of the first downlink bandwidth part and the physical resource block occupied by the first common control resource set within the first downlink bandwidth part;
• and
• monitoring a physical downlink control channel in the first common control resource set before the first downlink bandwidth part configured by system information block 1 (SIB1) takes effect, to obtain scheduling control information, wherein the first downlink bandwidth part configured by the SIB1 takes effect after a successful initial access of a terminal device.
