Fast initial link setup communication device and method

A Fast Initial Link Setup communication method, comprising:

• generating a Beacon frame having a physical frame header comprising a first identification information field, and a physical layer convergence procedure service data unit comprising a second identification information field, and the value of the first identification information field is a first value and/or the value of the second identification information field is a second value, which indicates that an access point supports a Fast Initial Link Setup function;
• sending the Beacon frame;
• and/or
• receiving an initial link setup first message, and the value of the first identification information field in the physical frame header of the initial link setup first message is the first value and/or the value of the second identification information field in the physical layer convergence procedure service data unit is the second value, which indicates that a terminal supports the Fast Initial Link Setup function,
• wherein the first identification information field comprises one or more bits of the signal domains of the Beacon frame, and the second identification information field comprises one or more bits of the Beacon frame and/or a media access control frame of the initial link setup first message.

A Fast Initial Link Setup communication device, comprising:

• a service processing module which generates an initial link setup first message having a physical frame header comprising a first identification information field, and a physical layer convergence procedure service data unit comprising a second identification information field, and the value of the first identification information field is a first value and/or the value of the second identification information field is a second value, which indicates that the service processing module supports a Fast Initial Link Setup function, and sends the initial link setup first message through a wireless transceiver module;
• and/or receives a Beacon frame through the wireless transceiver module, and the value of the first identification information field in the physical frame header of the Beacon frame is the first value and/or the value of the second identification information field in the physical layer convergence procedure service data unit is the second value, which indicates that an access point supports the Fast Initial Link Setup function;
