Abstract
Embodiments of this application provide a service data transmission method, an access point, and a station. The method includes: receiving, by a station, a control frame, where the control frame includes control information; contending for a resource based on the control information; and sending first-type service data of the station to an access point on the resource obtained by contention, where the control information is used to instruct the station to contend for the resource used to transmit the first-type service data. In the embodiments of this application, the access point triggers the station to perform a procedure of reporting uplink first-type service data, and this can improve transmission efficiency of service data.
Claims20
A service data transmission method, comprising:
- receiving, by a first station (STA), a control frame comprising a resource indication field and a first association identifier (AID), wherein the resource indication field indicates a resource used to transmit first-type service data, and the first AID instructs the first STA how to contend for the resource indicated by the resource indication field for transmitting the first-type service data;
- contending, by the first STA, for the resource based on the resource indication field and the first AID;
- and
- sending, by the first STA, the first-type service data of the first STA to an access point (AP), on the resource obtained by contention,
- wherein the first association identifier (AID) corresponds to a specific contention manner of contending for the resource used to transmit the first-type service data and that is not an AID to be allocated to any specific STA by the AP, and the first STA contends for the resource based on an agreement between the AP and the first STA on a correspondence between the first AID and the specific contention manner,
- wherein the first AID instructs the first STA to contend for the resource indicated by the resource indication field in a random contention manner.

A service data transmission method, comprising:
- sending, by an access point (AP), a control frame to a first station (STA), wherein the control frame comprises a resource indication field and a first association identifier (AID), wherein the resource indication field indicates a resource used to transmit first-type service data, and the first AID instructs the first STA how to contend for the resource indicated by the resource indication field for transmitting the first-type service data;
- and
- receiving, by the AP, from the first STA the first-type service data of the first STA on the resource obtained by the first STA by contention,
- wherein the first association identifier (AID) corresponds to a specific contention manner of contending for the resource used to transmit the first-type service data and that is not an AID to be allocated to any specific STA by the AP, and the first STA contends for the resource based on an agreement between the AP and the first STA on a correspondence between the first AID and the specific contention manner,
- wherein the first AID instructs the first STA to contend for the resource indicated by the resource indication field in a random contention manner.
2 more elements
A station (STA), comprising:
- a receiver, configured to receive a control frame comprising a resource indication field and a first association identifier (AID), wherein the resource indication field indicates a resource used to transmit first-type service data, and the first AID instructs the STA how to contend for the resource indicated by the resource indication field for transmitting the first-type service data;
- at least one processor, configured to contend for the resource based on the resource indication field and the first AID received by the receiver;
- and
- a transmitter, configured to send the first-type service data of the STA to an access point (AP) on the resource contended by the at least one processor,
- wherein, the first AID corresponds to a specific contention manner of contending for the resource used to transmit the first-type service data and that is not an AID to be allocated to any specific STA by the AP, and the STA is configured to contend for the resource based on an agreement between the AP and the STA on a correspondence between the first AID and the specific contention manner,
- wherein the first AID instructs the first STA to contend for the resource indicated by the resource indication field in a random contention manner.
3 more elements
An access point (AP), comprising:
- a transmitter, configured to send a control frame to a first station (STA), wherein the control frame comprises a resource indication field and a first association identifier (AID), wherein the restore indication field indicates a resource used to transmit first-type service data, and the first AID instructs the first STA how to contend for the resource indicated by the resource indication field for transmitting the first-type service data;
- and
- a receiver, configured to receive the first-type service data of the first STA on the resource obtained by the first STA by contention,
- wherein the first AID corresponds to a specific contention manner of contending for the resource used to transmit the first-type service data and that is not an AID to be allocated to any specific STA by the AP, and the first STA contends for the resource based on an agreement between the AP and the first STA on a correspondence between the first AID and the specific contention manner,
- wherein the first AID instructs the first STA to contend for the resource indicated by the resource indication field in a random contention manner.
