Abstract
A channel resource allocation method and apparatus, where the method includes: establishing, by a first network device, at least two links between the first network device and a second network device, where each link supports beamforming data transmission; obtaining, by the first network device, a millimeter-wave radio channel resource between the first network device and the second network device; dividing the millimeter-wave radio channel resource into a plurality of slots, where each slot is used for data transmission on one link, and where two adjacent slots correspond to two different links; and transmitting, by the first network device, data on a corresponding link in the plurality of slots.
Claims20
A channel resource allocation method, comprising:
- establishing, by a first network device, at least two links between the first network device and a second network device, wherein each of the at least two links supports beamforming data transmission;
- obtaining, by the first network device, a millimeter-wave radio channel resource between the first network device and the second network device;
- dividing the millimeter-wave radio channel resource into a plurality of slots, wherein each slot is for data transmission on one link, and wherein two adjacent slots correspond to two different links;
- and
- transmitting, by the first network device, data on a corresponding link in the plurality of slots, wherein transmitting the data comprises:
- sending, by the first network device, first information directly to the second network device via one of the at least two links;
- sending, by the first network device, second information directly to the second network device via another one of the least two links;
- determining, by the first network device, an optimal link in the at least two links;
- sending, by the first network device, the first information to the second network device in a first slot corresponding to the optimal link, wherein the first information is for performing channel estimation and data monitoring on the optimal link;
- sending the second information to the second network device in a second slot corresponding to a link other than the optimal link, wherein the second information is to maintain transmissibility between the first network device and the second network device;
- sending, by the first network device, the data directly to the second network device via the optimal link;
- and
- continuing, by the first network device when the optimal link becomes faulty, to send the data directly to the second network device via the link other than the optimal link.
