This application discloses an information transmission method and a communication apparatus, to resolve the problem in the conventional technology that a resource group having one or more overlapping resource blocks cannot simultaneously transmit information of a plurality of terminal devices and results in a waste of resources. The information transmission method includes: A network device obtains first information including configuration information of a first bandwidth and/or first indication information. A terminal device determines a first parameter based on the first information. The first parameter is for determining a resource configuration parameter of a first narrowband. At least one resource in the first narrowband is included in the first bandwidth. The resource configuration parameter of the first narrowband includes at least one of a starting resource of the first narrowband, a quantity of resources included in the first narrowband, or a location of the first narrowband in the first bandwidth.

Prioritizing resource allocation for relay nodes that have higher bandwidth capabilities, such as 5G EN-DC, versus other relay nodes that do not have such capabilities. The bandwidth capability can be based on a channel bandwidth allocation for different relay nodes, with the assumption that 5G or higher relay nodes will be able to utilize higher bandwidth channels.
