8. A method for sending a signal, comprising:
determining, by a first base station, a first configuration for a first common signal, the first common signal comprises a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), the first configuration comprises time-frequency resource information about a time-frequency resource for the first common signal and carrier type information of a carrier carrying the first common signal;
sending, by the first base station, the first configuration to a user equipment (UE);
sending, by the first base station, a second common signal before sending the first configuration; and
sending, by the first base station, the first common signal to the UE according to the first configuration;
wherein the sending of the second common signal uses a third configuration, and a periodicity of the second common signal is greater than a common signal periodicity corresponding to the first configuration.
