1. A method for coordinating body devices for communication, wherein the method comprises:

  • obtaining, by a mobile personal station, an identifier of a body device, and a location parameter which includes a parameter of a location of a user that carries the body device, and an ambient parameter which relates to a parameter at the location of the user;

    obtaining, by the mobile personal station according to the identifier of the body device, a communication mode supported by the body device;

    determining, by the mobile personal station according to the location parameter and the ambient parameter that are of the user, a scenario of the user;

    determining, by the mobile personal station, a networking mode of the body device according to the scenario and the communication mode supported by the body device wherein the networking mode designates the communication mode that is used by the body device to connect to the mobile personal station; and

    establishing, by the mobile personal station, a connection to the body device according to the networking mode;

    determining, by the mobile personal station, a network role of the body device according to a network topology, a network optimization algorithm, and the communication mode supported by the body device, wherein the network role is a local gateway or a terminal; and

    sending, by the mobile personal station, one of;

    an instruction to a terminal within a preset range when the body device is a local gateway, so that the terminal within the preset range establishes a connection to the body device, wherein the preset range is determined according to a direction and a location that are of the body device; and

    an instruction to the body device when the body device is a terminal, so that the body device establishes a connection to a gateway closest to the body device, wherein the gateway refers to a local gateway or the mobile personal station, and the mobile personal station determines the gateway closest to the body device according to a location and a direction that are of the body device;

    monitoring, by the mobile personal station, a working status of the body device by using the established connection;

    re-determining, by the mobile personal station, a network role of the body device according to the network topology when the working status of the body device changes; and

    performing, by the mobile personal station, network optimization according to the network topology and the re-determined network role of the body device.
