Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and a related device. The method is applied to a base station. The base station includes a plurality of antenna arrays and a baseband processing unit. The plurality of antenna arrays are distributed around a communication area and are all connected to the baseband processing unit. A terminal in the communication area is configured to perform signal transmission with the antenna arrays, to implement communication with the baseband processing unit. The method includes: when an obstacle exists between the terminal and a primary antenna array performing signal transmission with the terminal, controlling, by the base station through the baseband processing unit, a secondary antenna array to perform signal transmission with the terminal, where the primary antenna array and the secondary antenna array are in the antenna arrays included in the base station, and in the plurality of antenna arrays except the primary antenna array, the secondary antenna array is an antenna array with highest quality of signals between the antenna array and the terminal. According to the embodiments of this application, smooth communication between the terminal and the base station can be ensured.
