AI summary

A communication method and a related device are disclosed, to process data of a terminal device on a link between a baseband unit and a radio frequency unit at a granularity of the terminal device, so as to ensure service experience of the terminal device. In the method, the baseband unit performs first processing on downlink data of a first terminal device to obtain first data, and performs second processing on downlink data of a second terminal device to obtain second data, where the first processing is different from the second processing, The baseband unit then sends the first data and the second data on the link between the baseband unit and the radio frequency unit.
