Optionally, the transmitting unit 620 is specifically configured to transmit high-layer signaling, the high-layer signaling carrying the indication information; or
Optionally, the first downlink data time-domain resource includes multiple mini-slots, and the indication information is configured to indicate a total length of the multiple mini-slots.
Optionally, if a network device configures multiple time-frequency resource regions including the first time-frequency resource region for the terminal device, the multiple time-frequency resource regions having different subcarrier spacings, the indication information includes information about a third downlink scheduling time-domain resource in a third time-frequency resource region. The third time-frequency resource region is the time-frequency resource region with a minimum subcarrier spacing in the multiple time-frequency resource regions.
