This application discloses a communication method that includes: receiving first control information of a first bandwidth part (BWP) and second control information of a second BWP, and receiving a first data channel and a second data channel based on the first control information. The first BWP includes a first frequency domain resource and a second frequency domain resource. The second BWP includes a third frequency domain resource, and the third frequency domain resource and the second frequency domain resource overlap. The first data channel is located on the first frequency domain resource, and the second data channel is located on the third frequency domain resource. The foregoing method provides a manner of transmitting data on the first and second BWPs that partially overlap.
