Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide a signal sending method, including: determining a first subcarrier, wherein an offset is between the first subcarrier and a center subcarrier of target resource blocks in a target bandwidth, and the offset is related to a subcarrier spacing; and determining a signal, wherein a location of the first subcarrier is the same as a carrier frequency location of the signal.

Claims (48)

1. A communication method, comprising:

determining, by a communications apparatus, a first subcarrier, an offset being between the first subcarrier and a center subcarrier of target resource blocks in a target bandwidth, the offset being related to a subcarrier spacing, the subcarrier spacing corresponding to the first subcarrier being a maximum subcarrier spacing of a carrier, the carrier comprising the target bandwidth, and the first subcarrier satisfying:

k =floor( N* 12/2/2{circumflex over ( )}( u max −u min ))*2{circumflex over ( )}( u max −u min )+2{circumflex over ( )}( u max −u min )

where u min is a minimum subcarrier spacing supported by the communications apparatus in the target bandwidth, u max is a maximum subcarrier spacing supported by the communications apparatus in the target bandwidth, N indicates a quantity of resource blocks corresponding to the minimum subcarrier spacing u min in the target bandwidth, and floor(x) indicates rounding x down;

determining, by the communications apparatus, a signal, a frequency location of the first subcarrier being the same as a carrier frequency location of the signal; and

transmitting, by the communications apparatus, the signal.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the offset is a difference value between a first index of the first subcarrier and a second index of the center subcarrier.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the first subcarrier comprises:

determining the first subcarrier according to a quantity of the target resource blocks and the offset.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the offset is further related to a quantity of the target resource blocks.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the first subcarrier comprises:

determining a first subcarrier index, the offset being a difference value between a first index of the first subcarrier and a second index of the center subcarrier.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the offset being related to the subcarrier spacing comprises:

the offset being related to an identity of the subcarrier spacing.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier frequency location of the signal is the same as a first carrier frequency location of the center subcarrier of the target resource blocks in the target bandwidth.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the target bandwidth is configured by a network device.

9. A communication apparatus comprising:
