Method for negotiating target wake time, access point, and station

An access point (AP), comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• generate a first media access control (MAC) frame by aggregating a plurality of MAC frames corresponding to first stations (STAs) in a plurality of STAs in a one-to-one manner, wherein the first MAC frame carries a plurality of pieces of target wake time (TWT) information that are corresponding to the first STAs in a one-to-one manner;
• generate the first MAC frame by generating a first information element that carries the plurality of pieces of TWT information, wherein the first information element comprises a plurality of first fields and a plurality of second fields, each first field defines a unique identifier (ID) corresponding to an ith STA in the first STAs, and each second field defines TWT information corresponding to the ith STA and generating a trigger frame that carries the plurality of pieces of TWT information, wherein the trigger frame comprises a plurality of third fields, fourth fields, and fifth fields, each third field defines a unique identifier (ID) corresponding to the ith STA in the first STAs, each fourth field defines resource scheduling information for uplink transmission corresponding to the ith STA in the first STAs, wherein the resource scheduling information for uplink transmission includes a resource block indication, a modulation scheme, and a coding scheme, and each fifth field defines TWT information corresponding to the ith STA in the first STAs, and wherein uplink and downlink transmissions with different first STAs utilize different time and frequency resources;
• and
• a transmitter configured to send, to the plurality of STAs, the first MAC frame generated by the generation unit, the first MAC frame for determining a TWT parameter of each of the first STAs based on corresponding TWT information.
