The present disclosure relates to methods for indicating a direct current subcarrier and communication apparatuses. In one example method, a second communication apparatus may explicitly or implicitly indicate a location of a first direct current subcarrier and a location of a second direct current subcarrier to a first communication apparatus. The first direct current subcarrier is a direct current subcarrier corresponding to a transmit frequency used by the second communication apparatus. The second direct current subcarrier is a direct current subcarrier corresponding to a receive frequency used by the first communication apparatus.
