This application relates to the field of wireless communications technologies, and discloses a signal sending method. The method includes: mapping, onto a time frequency resource, a first signal that is in frequency domain and that corresponds to a subcarrier spacing parameter in a subcarrier spacing system parameter group, and generating a second signal that is in time domain and that corresponds to the first signal; and sending the second signal to a second network device. First signals corresponding to the different subcarrier spacing system parameters occupy a same quantity of subcarriers, and second signals corresponding to the different subcarrier spacing system parameters occupy a same time length T.
