A frequency domain resource configuration method and apparatus, the method including obtaining, by a base station, a first frequency hopping parameter set of UE in N sub-bands, where the N sub-bands have a mapping relationship with a frequency hopping pattern that is indicated by the first frequency hopping parameter set, where the sub-band is a length of consecutive frequency domain resources in a system bandwidth, and where N≥1, and further including sending, by the base station, first configuration information to the UE, where the first configuration information includes sub-band identifiers of the N sub-bands and the first frequency hopping parameter set.
