1. A method for indicating sub-band configuration, comprising:
configuring a broadcast channel in a basic sub-band which is configured with a synchronization signal; and
indicating sub-band configuration of at least one non-basic sub-band indirectly through a master information block carried by the broadcast channel, wherein the sub-band configuration of the non-basic sub-band is used for user equipment accessing the non-basic sub-band, and comprises a frequency position,
wherein indicating sub-band configuration of at least one non-basic sub-band indirectly through the master information block carried by the broadcast channel comprises: indicating configuration of a common control channel based on the master information block carried by the broadcast channel, wherein the configuration of the common control channel comprises a time-frequency resource position of the common control channel; and indicating sub-band configuration of the at least one non-basic sub-band through a system information block carried by the common control channel.
