The present invention relates to the field of the mobile communications technologies, and in particular, to a wireless transmission path selection method and apparatus. In this solution, according to corresponding precoding information, a CQI of each wireless transmission path and/or orthogonality information of channel propagation directions from any two candidate transmission nodes in a candidate transmission node set to a wireless transmission path selection node are/is determined. Both the precoding information and the orthogonality information of the channel propagation directions are related to spatial beamforming. Therefore, interference imposed by spatial beamforming on a signal is considered during wireless transmission path selection, improving accuracy of a determined wireless transmission path, and improving capacity resource utilization.
