Embodiments of the present disclosure includes example subframe configuration methods and related devices. One example method includes configuring, by a network-side device, a target subframe, where the target subframe includes at least one sounding reference signal (SRS) symbol used to send an SRS signal. The network-side device can then send first configuration signaling to a terminal device, where the first configuration signaling includes a resource configuration of the target subframe or an SRS configuration of the target subframe.
