FIG. 1A is a flowchart of a method for selecting a beam according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, FIG. 1B is a schematic scenario diagram of a method for selecting a beam according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, FIG. 1C is a first schematic diagram of sending data to be transmitted using different beams according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, FIG. 1D is a second schematic diagram of sending data to be transmitted using different beams according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The method for selecting a beam may be applied to a data receiving terminal, such as a user equipment and a base station, as shown in FIG. 1A, the method for selecting a beam method includes operations 101 to 103.

At 101, receiving positions for monitoring data to be transmitted within a set transmission period are determined.

In some embodiments, the receiving positions for monitoring the data to be transmitted within the set transmission period may be configured by a base station. If the user equipment is the data receiving terminal, the base station may send the receiving positions to the user equipment using radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a media access control (MAC) control element (CE) or physical layer signaling. In some embodiments, the receiving positions for monitoring the data to be transmitted within the set transmission period may also be agreed in advance by the system in the agreement.
