Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and provides a link adaptation method and device, so as to determine, according to transmission quality of a signal in a link, to perform antenna alignment and/or frequency adjustment. The method includes: detecting, by a first antenna device, an RSSI of a link between the first antenna device and a second antenna device; when it is determined that the RSSI is greater than or equal to a first RSSI threshold, detecting, by the first antenna device, an SINR of the link; and choosing, by the first antenna device according to the RSSI and the SINR, to perform frequency adjustment and/or antenna alignment with the second antenna device. Embodiments of the present invention are applied to link adaptation.
