Method and apparatus for transmitting trigger frame in wireless local area network

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and an apparatus for transmitting a trigger frame in a wireless local area network. The method for transmitting a trigger frame in a wireless local area network includes: generating, by an access point, a trigger frame carrying a target media access control MAC function, where the trigger frame includes indication information, the indication information is used to instruct a first station to send a MAC frame corresponding to the target MAC function, and the indication information is used to instruct a second station not to perform the target MAC function; and sending, by the access point, the trigger frame. In the present disclosure, the indication information is used to instruct the first station to send the MAC frame corresponding to the target MAC function without limiting the second station, so that data sending manners of the first station and the second station can be flexibly controlled.
