Disclosed by the present application are a resource mapping method and apparatus and device, comprising: determining to-be-sent data hosted on a data-channel physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)/physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); mapping said to-be-sent data to a virtual resource block (VRB); mapping the virtual resource block to a physical resource block (PRB) in resource block (RB) bundle units. Using the present application, it is possible to prevent the problem of the size of a virtual resource block bundle being inconsistent with the size of a physical resource block bundle, thus causing it to be impossible to map the virtual resource block to the physical resource block.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to wireless communication devices configured to encode information blocks to produce code blocks and interleave the code blocks utilizing an interleaver including a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, where the number of columns of the interleaver varies between the rows. In some examples, the interleaver includes a right isosceles triangle-shaped matrix of rows and columns. In other examples, the interleaver includes a trapezoid-shaped matrix of rows and columns.
