Claim 9:
10. A communication apparatus, which is first network device or an apparatus applicable in the first network device, comprising:
at least one memory comprising program instructions; and
at least one processor executing the program instructions to enable the apparatus to perform operations comprising:
receiving first state information from at least one second network device, wherein the first state information indicates whether the at least one second network device is capable of providing a service in a next state;
receiving third state information of the at least one second network device, wherein the third state information indicates a current state of the at least one second network device and comprises user state information corresponding to at least a portion of a plurality of beamforming weight directions of the at least one second network device; and
determining, based on at least the first state information and the third state information, a network topology after the first network device and the at least one second network device in the next state are networked, wherein the determining a network topology obtained after the first network device and the at least one second network device in the next state are networked comprises:
determining, between the first network device and the at least one second network device, a target network device that provides a service in the next state.
