Physical broadcast channel sending/receiving method, and apparatus

A method comprising:

• sending, by a network device, a first broadcast channel signal on a first physical broadcast channel at a first time-frequency resource location in a radio frame, wherein the first broadcast channel signal carries first broadcast information, the first broadcast information comprises first information, and the first information indicates a time offset of the first time-frequency resource location;
• sending, by the network device, a second broadcast channel signal on a second physical broadcast channel at a second time-frequency resource location in the radio frame, wherein the second broadcast channel signal carries second broadcast information, the second broadcast information comprises second information, the second information indicates a time offset of the second time-frequency resource location;
• and
• sending, by the network device, an indication, wherein the indication indicates that the first broadcast information other than the first information is same as the second broadcast information other than the second information.

An apparatus comprising:

• a non-transitory storage medium including executable instructions;
• and
• a processor;
• wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
• receive a first broadcast channel signal on a first physical broadcast channel at a first time-frequency resource location in a radio frame, wherein the first broadcast channel signal carries first broadcast information, the first broadcast information comprises first information, and the first information indicates a time offset of the first time-frequency resource location;
• receive a second broadcast channel signal on a second physical broadcast channel at a second time-frequency resource location in the radio frame, wherein the second broadcast channel signal carries second broadcast information, the second broadcast information comprises second information, the second information indicates a time offset of the second time-frequency resource location, and the first broadcast information other than the first information is same as the second broadcast information other than the second information;
• and
• receive an indication indicating that the first broadcast information other than the first information is same as the second broadcast information other than the second information.
