Abstract

This application provides a wireless communication method and apparatus. The method includes: A second network device sends, to a first terminal device and at least one network device, first indication information used to indicate to send a common pilot signal on a common transmission resource, so that the first terminal device sends the common pilot signal to the at least one network device on the common transmission resource, and each network device receives and demodulates the common pilot signal, and adjusts a receive beam in a direction of the first terminal device based on the common pilot signal.

Claims (33)

1. A method of wireless communication, wherein the method comprises:

receiving, by a first network device, first indication information from a second network device, wherein the first indication information indicates a common pilot signal carried on a common transmission resource;

receiving, by the first network device, the common pilot signal from a first terminal device;

adjusting, by the first network device, a receive beam in a direction of the first terminal device based on the common pilot signal; and

sending, by the first network device, a first measurement result to the second network device, wherein the first measurement result indicates signal strength of the common pilot signal on at least one carrier, and the at least one carrier belongs to a carrier corresponding to the first network device.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first indication information comprises pilot signal indication information, and the pilot signal indication information indicates the common pilot signal.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first indication information comprises resource indication information, and the resource indication information indicates the common transmission resource.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, by the first network device, second indication information from the second network device, wherein the second indication information indicates a first carrier in the at least one carrier; and

receiving, by the first network device, uplink data from the first terminal device on the first carrier.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending, by the first network device, scheduling information to the first terminal device by using the second network device, wherein the scheduling information comprises a transmission resource that carries the uplink data, and the transmission resource comprises the first carrier; and

sending, by the first network device, feedback information for the uplink data to the first terminal device by using the second network device.

6. A method of wireless communication, wherein the method comprises:

sending, by a second network device, first indication information to a first terminal device and a first network device, wherein the first indication information indicates a common pilot signal carried on a common transmission resource, wherein an angle direction of the first terminal device is determined based on the common pilot signal; and

obtaining, by the second network device, a measurement result, wherein the measurement result indicates signal strength of the common pilot signal carried on each carrier in a first carrier group, the carrier in the first carrier group belongs to a carrier corresponding to at least one network device, and the first network device belongs to the at least one network device.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first indication information comprises pilot signal indication information, and the pilot signal indication information indicates the common pilot signal.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first indication information comprises resource indication information, and the resource indication information indicates the common transmission resource.

9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the method further comprises:

selecting, by the second network device based on the measurement result, a first carrier used for uplink transmission between the first terminal device and the first network device from the first carrier group; and

sending, by the second network device, second indication information to the first network device, wherein the second indication information indicates the first carrier.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending, by the second network device to the first terminal device, scheduling information from the first network device, wherein the scheduling information comprises a transmission resource that carries uplink data, and the transmission resource comprises the first carrier; and

sending, by the second network device to the first terminal device, feedback information that is for the uplink data and that is from the first network device.

11. A wireless communication method, wherein the method comprises:

receiving, by a first terminal device, first indication information from a second network device, wherein the first indication information indicates a common pilot signal carried on a common transmission resource, wherein an angle direction of the first terminal device is determined based on the common pilot signal;

sending, by the first terminal device, the common pilot signal to a first network device;

receiving, by the first terminal device, scheduling information from the first network device by using the second network device, wherein the scheduling information indicates a transmission resource that carries the uplink data, and the transmission resource comprises the first carrier; and

receiving, by the first terminal device, feedback information that is for the uplink data and that is from the first network device by using the second network device.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the first indication information comprises pilot signal indication information, and the pilot signal indication information indicates the common pilot signal.

13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the first indication information comprises resource indication information, and the resource indication information indicates the common transmission resource.

14. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending, by the first terminal device, uplink data to the first network device on a first carrier in a first carrier group, wherein each carrier in the first carrier group carries the common pilot signal, the carrier in the first carrier group belongs to a carrier corresponding to at least one network device, and the first network device belongs to the at least one network device.
