Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for transmitting an acknowledgement frame in a wireless local area network. The method includes: generating an acknowledgement frame for a send frame, where the acknowledgement frame includes a short acknowledgement frame, and the short acknowledgement frame includes an STF, an LTF, and a SIG; and sending the acknowledgement frame. In the embodiments of the present invention, the short acknowledgement frame may not include a data unit, so that a size of the acknowledgement frame is reduced and an overhead of the acknowledgement frame is cut down, thereby improving interaction efficiency of the acknowledgement frame.
Claims22
A method for transmitting an acknowledgement frame in a wireless local area network, comprising:
- generating the acknowledgement frame for a send frame, wherein the acknowledgement frame comprises a short acknowledgement frame, and the short acknowledgement frame includes a short training field (STF), a long training field (LTF), and control signaling (SIG);
- and
- sending the acknowledgement frame.
A method for transmitting an acknowledgement frame in a wireless local area network, comprising:
- sending a send frame to a receiving end;
- and
- receiving, from the receiving end, the acknowledgement frame for the send frame, wherein the acknowledgement frame comprises a short acknowledgement frame, and the short acknowledgement frame includes a short training field (STF), a long training field (LTF), and control signaling (SIG).
An apparatus for transmitting an acknowledgement frame, comprising:
- a generating unit, configured to generate the acknowledgement frame for a send frame, wherein the acknowledgement frame comprises a short acknowledgement frame, and the short acknowledgement frame includes a short training field (STF), a long training field (LTF), and control signaling (SIG);
- and
- a sending unit, configured to send the acknowledgement frame generated by the generating unit.
An apparatus for transmitting an acknowledgement frame, comprising:
- a sending unit, configured to send a send frame to a receiving end;
- and
- a receiving unit, configured to receive, from the receiving end, the acknowledgement frame for the send frame, wherein the acknowledgement frame comprises a short acknowledgement frame, and the short acknowledgement frame includes a short training field (STF), a long training field (LTF), and control signaling (SIG).
