Embodiments of this application provide a resource scheduling method, which includes: transmitting, by a terminal device, at least first indication information to a network device on a pre-allocated uplink resource, where the first indication information indicates a data volume of to-be-transmitted data of the terminal device; and transmitting the to-be-transmitted data on an uplink resource if the terminal device receives at least second indication information transmitted by the network device, where the second indication information indicates the uplink resource allocated by the network device to the terminal device. In the embodiments of this application, when to-be-transmitted data is MBB service data, the terminal device may transmit a data volume of the MBB service data to the network device on a grant-free resource, so that the network device allocates an uplink resource to the terminal device and the terminal device transmits the MBB service data on the uplink resource.
