Physical resource configuration method and user terminal

The invention provides a physical resource configuration method and a user terminal. The method comprises the following steps: when receiving uplink physical resource configuration information, acquiring uplink physical resources configured by a base station according to the uplink physical resource configuration information; and when the acquired uplink physical resources coincide with reserved resources, selecting other resources except the reserved resources in the acquired uplink physical resources to transmit uplink data. Using the above scheme, UE (User Equipment) forward compatibility features can be improved, so that new functions can be introduced into a communication system.
