    Abstract: In a method for determining a resource of an asynchronous physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, user equipment (UE) receives time domain resource configuration information and frequency domain resource configuration information from a network device. The UE sets, based on the time domain resource configuration information, a time domain position of a first hop of a first PUSCH and a time domain position of a second hop of the first PUSCH to be inconsecutive in the time domain. The UE then determines a frequency domain position of the first hop of the first PUSCH and a frequency domain position of the second hop of the first PUSCH based on the frequency domain resource configuration information.

A parameter used for uplink transmission is determined by the UE based on a feedback signal carrying the valid TA or a preamble signal corresponding to the valid TA. Uplink data are sent according to the parameter by the UE.
