Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide a method for sending carrier information, and the method includes: performing, by a base station, subcarrier mapping on a first carrier in a first subcarrier mapping manner, where subcarriers corresponding to the first subcarrier mapping manner have frequency offset of a first offset value relative to subcarriers corresponding to a second subcarrier mapping manner, and the subcarriers corresponding to the second subcarrier mapping manner are symmetric with respect to a carrier center frequency of the first carrier, and include no subcarrier on the carrier center frequency of the first carrier; and sending, by the base station, indication information to a terminal, where the indication information carries information about the first offset value.
