1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a first functional entity of a third node from a first node, an interference measurement configuration message, wherein the interference measurement configuration message comprises interference measurement type indication information, and the interference measurement type indication information indicates to the first functional entity of the third node to perform interference measurement by using a receive beam of a second functional entity of the third node, and wherein an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network comprises at least the first node, a second node, and the third node;
determining, by the first functional entity of the third node based on an interference measurement type indication comprised in the interference measurement configuration message, that the receive beam of the second functional entity of the third node is usable for detecting a reference signal;
receiving, by the first functional entity of the third node using the receive beam of the second functional entity of the third node, the reference signal from the second node, the reference signal usable for interference measurement; and
performing, by the first functional entity of the third node, the interference measurement,
wherein the first node is an upper-level node of the third node, and the second node is an interference source node of the third node.
