Abstract
The present disclosure relates to example methods and communication apparatus. In one example method a base station divides a coverage area of a first antenna into at least two cells and performs weighted processing on data carried on time-frequency resources of the at least two cells to map the data carried on the time-frequency resources of the at least two cells to a channel of the first antenna. The base station combines the data carried on the time-frequency resources of the at least two cells, and either transmits at least two directional beams by using the first antenna, where the at least two directional beams have different directions, and wherein the at least two directional beams are in a one-to-one correspondence with the at least two cells, or the base station transmits one directional beam by using the first antenna.
