Claim 0:
1. A communication method, comprising:
receiving, by a first network device, 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, by the first network device, 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, by the first network device and 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.
