COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

This application provides a communication method and related apparatus. In the communication method, a network device determines a first normalized power at a start moment of an nth period in N periods, and determines a total normalized power expected to be used by a plurality of cells in the nth period. When the total normalized power is greater than the first normalized power, the network device allocates power to each cell based on a preset normalized power of each cell and the first normalized power. This resolves a problem that when a cell power quota at each frequency for a multi-frequency cell is limited, the coverage and network performance of each cell is affected.
