The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for configuring transmission frames of millimeter wave communication network wherein the method comprises: configuring at least one wave beam training message which comprises a narrow band omni-directional reference signal sequence and basic system configuring information; configuring a down link control message which comprises a signal used to de-code the downlink data block; configuring an uplink control message which comprises the terminal determined wave beam information, downlink data transmission state information or the uplink reference signal; configuring a data message which comprises the uplink data or downlink data; and configuring at least one protection interval used to provide an interval between the downlink transmission and the uplink transmission when the downlink transmission changes to the uplink transmission. According to the invention, the method and the apparatus support the transmission based on wave beams so as to improve the quality of a channel. In addition, the method and the apparatus can reduce the system overhead, increase the utilization efficiency of system resources and realizes the low-delay transmission.
