Abstract
This application provides communication methods for a terminal device and a network side device. In an example method, a terminal device establishes a primary communication link with a network side device. The terminal device detects one or more other terminal devices, determines, from the one or more other terminal devices, one or more terminal devices as one or more coordinated communication devices, and notifies the network side device of information indicating that a coordinated communication device is used for coordinated communication. The terminal device establishes a device-to-device (D2D)-based virtual multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) communication connection with the coordinated communication device, to form, between the terminal device and the network side device, a coordinated communication link relayed by the coordinated communication device. The terminal device performs parallel communication with the network side device based on the primary communication link and the coordinated communication link, or performs communication based on the coordinated communication link.
