AI summary

A communication method is disclosed. The method includes: a second device receives policy related information from M first devices; the second device obtains transmission decisions of the M first devices based on the policy related information by using a second neural network; the second device updates the second neural network based on reward information, and sends, to the M first devices, information for updating a first neural network, and the third device obtains second update parameter information of the first neural network based on the first update parameter information of the first neural network of the M first devices, and sends the second update parameter information of the first neural network to the M first devices, so that the first device may update the first neural network. The second update parameter information is obtained in a training process, so that training overheads can be reduced.
