Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for data transmission. The method includes: determining a quantity N of first virtual resource blocks VRBs corresponding to first user equipment UE, where the N first VRBs correspond to N virtual subbands for carrying to-be-transmitted data of the first UE, and N is a natural number greater than or equal to 1; determining, based on the quantity N of the first VRBs, a first step corresponding to the N first VRBs, where the first step is used to indicate a distance between two adjacent physical subbands to which the N first VRBs are mapped in a physical resource, and the first step is greater than 1; and determining, based on the first step, N first PRBs corresponding to the N first VRBs, where the N first PRBs correspond to N physical subbands for carrying the to-be-transmitted data.
