Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a communication method and a communications device. The method includes: obtaining, by a first access network device, a first data block; performing network coding on the first data block to generate a plurality of first encoded data blocks; and performing, by the first access network device, offload processing on at least one first encoded data block in the plurality of first encoded data blocks. The offload processing includes: sending a part of the at least one first encoded data block to a second access network device, and directly sending, by using an air interface, another part of the at least one first encoded data block to the terminal device.
