Communication mode selection method and device

Abstract

The present invention provides a communication mode selection method, which includes: when a state parameter of a communication terminal meets a predetermined condition, selecting a mode corresponding to a spatial multiplexing technique as a mode for communication between the terminal and a corresponding base station, where the predetermined condition at least includes that the number of antennas is greater than 1. This prevents the terminal from entering a MIMO B mode in the case of using a single antenna, so that repeated switching between a MIMO A mode and the MIMO B mode may not occur, and therefore, the problem of service jittering caused by repeated switching is avoided.
