Abstract: A data sending method, a related device, and a system are described. The method includes sending, by a network device, resource location information of a first reference signal and a physical channel to a terminal, where a first time-frequency resource on which the first reference signal is mapped overlaps a second time-frequency resource corresponding to the physical channel. An overlapping resource is not used to transmit the physical channel, and a third time-frequency resource in the second time-frequency resource other than the overlapping resource is used to transmit the physical channel. Alternatively, an overlapping resource is used to send a second reference signal; or an overlapping region is used to send a second reference signal, where the terminal skips sending the first reference signal, and the second reference signal is orthogonal to the first reference signal.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a service processing method and apparatus. According to the service processing method, a number of code blocks of a client service may be mapped to a FlexE subslot, and a FlexE subslot overhead is generated, so that the client service mapped to the FlexE subslot and the FlexE subslot overhead are sent through a physical channel, and a low-rate service is carried. Compared with carrying a low-rate service by directly using an entire FlexE slot, carrying the client service by using a number of FlexE subslots into which the FlexE slot is divided can improve bandwidth utilization.
