Resource allocation method and apparatus

The invention discloses a resource allocation method and apparatus, thereby realizing unified scheduling of resources of a TDD-LTE system network and an FDD-LTE system network and thus solving a false congestion problem effectively. The resource allocation method comprises: according to a coverage ranges of a plurality of physical cells and a preset virtual cell generation strategy, a virtual cell is generated, and a mapping relation between physical resource blocks of multiple physical cells and a virtual resource block of the virtual cell is established; when a data transmission request of a user is received, geographical location information of the user is obtained, a virtual cell which the user belongs to is determined based on the geographical location information of the user, and a virtual resource block for data transmission with the user is allocated in the virtual cell which the user belongs to; and according to the mapping relation and the virtual resource block allocated for the user, a physical re
