(EN) Provided in the present application are a communication method and a communication apparatus. The communication method comprises: a terminal device receiving first indicator information and second indicator information from a network device the first indicator information being used to indicate a location of a first reference point and the second indicator being used to indicate a first quantity the first quantity being a quantity of offset units between the first reference point and a second reference point and the second reference point being an endpoint of a first physical resource block (PRB); the terminal device determining a location of the first PRB according to the first indicator information the second indicator information and a subcarrier identifier corresponding to the first reference point and thus being able to cause the terminal device to complete a process of determining a PRB corresponding to a PRB numbering start in system bandwidth without learning the system bandwidth.
