The present invention provides a multiple antenna mode control method based on Station, including the steps: step 1 the Station reports a multiple antenna mode set or subset supported by the Station to the Access Point; step 2, the Access Point returns a multiple antenna mode set or subset supported by the Access Point to the Station, or returns directly a multiple antenna mode set or subset supported by both the Station and the Access Point to the Station; and step 3, a multiple antenna mode is chosen from a multiple antenna mode set or subset supported by both the Station and the Access Point for communicating between the Station and the Access Point. Thereby, a best transmission quality can be achieved during data transmission, and furthermore, the retransmission times and the error frame rate are reduced, and the network throughput is decreased.
