1. A broadcast beam processing method, comprising:
sending a first broadcast beam;
receiving a first measurement report from a first terminal after the first broadcast beam is sent, wherein the first terminal comprises at least one first terminal, the first measurement report comprises at least one first measurement report, and the at least one first terminal is in a one-to-one correspondence with the at least one first measurement report;
determining a weak coverage area of the first broadcast beam based on the first measurement report, wherein determining the weak coverage area of the first broadcast beam based on the first measurement report comprises determining I weak coverage areas of the first broadcast beam based on the at least one first measurement report, wherein the I weak coverage areas do not overlap each other, the I weak coverage areas are Ci, i is an integer ranging from 0 to I−1, and the I weak coverage areas comprise a location of the at least one first terminal; and
sending a second broadcast beam, wherein the second broadcast beam is used to cover the weak coverage area of the first broadcast beam.
