Embodiments of the present invention provide a resource scheduling method, which can support reduction of transmission resource overheads in resource scheduling. The method is applied to a wireless local area network, where a next generation protocol followed by the wireless local area network prescribes locations of resource units possibly allocated from a to-be-assigned frequency domain resource. The method includes: generating, by a sending end, resource scheduling information, where the resource scheduling information includes a bit sequence used to indicate a resource unit(s) actually allocated from the to-be-assigned frequency domain resource, and at least some bits in the bit sequence are used to indicate whether one or more of said resource unit locations possibly allocated from the to-be-assigned frequency domain resource is\are the actually allocated resource unit(s).
