Abstract
Embodiments of this application disclose a communication method and a communication apparatus, to establish two intra-frequency co-coverage cells within a same frequency band, and arrange time-frequency resources respectively used by the two cells in a time division or frequency division manner to avoid co-channel interference, so that the two cells back up each other. When one cell of the cells is abnormal, the other cell can still provide a service for a terminal device. Because the two cells share the frequency band, spectrum resources can be reduced, and consumption of the time-frequency resources can be reduced. In addition, radio resource utilization can be improved while a reliability gain of dual-network system-level backup is obtained.
