Abstract: This application provides a scheduling method and apparatus. The method includes: a network device uses a scheduling model applicable to K users for one or more times, and determines a scheduled terminal device based on scheduling weights output by the scheduling model for one or more times. Each time the scheduling model is used, status information of K terminal devices in n to-be-scheduled terminal devices is input to the scheduling model, and the scheduling model outputs scheduling weights respectively corresponding to the K terminal devices, where K is an integer greater than 1, and n is an integer greater than K. Therefore, regardless of a quantity of to-be-scheduled terminal devices in a communication system, the network device may reuse the scheduling model without re-establishing a scheduling model, so that the scheduling model is expandable and applicable to scenarios in which quantities of to-be-scheduled terminal devices are different.
