1. A wireless communication method, comprising:
transmitting, by a first network node, a signal to a second network node using a first set of resource elements for a synchronization signal and a broadcast channel, wherein the first set of resource elements is in a physical carrier that is identified by a channel number in a range of channel numbers, wherein a center resource element of the first set of resource elements is associated with the channel number in the range, wherein the center resource element of the first set of resource elements corresponds to two frequency domain indices associated with two adjacent channel numbers, wherein the broadcast channel carries bandwidth information about a second set of resource elements, wherein the first set of resource elements includes a resource block assigned based on the center resource element of the first set of resource elements, and wherein the center resource element of the first set of resource elements overlaps with a boundary resource element of the resource block; and
transmitting, by the first network node based on the bandwidth information about the second set of resource elements, information to the second network node using the second set of resource elements.
