    Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining a control information indication are provided, wherein resource usage efficiency of physical broadcast channels can be improved. First information, which is sent by a network device, is received for indicating control information. The first information is used to indicate the number of symbols occupied by a control resource set (CORESET 0) in a time domain and a first offset of the CORESET 0 in a frequency domain. A time-frequency resource position of the CORESET 0 is determined based on the first information and a preset subcarrier spacing. Downlink control information at the time-frequency resource position of the CORESET 0 is received.
