Abstract:
A data sending method of a terminal, including sending a data frame to a relay, where the data frame includes a relay information bit, the relay information bit identifies whether the relay needs to forward the data frame, and if the relay information bit indicates that the relay needs to forward the data frame, the data frame is forwarded to an access point by the relay; and receiving a response message of the access point, where the response message is used indicates that the data frame is correctly received by the access point.
Abstract:
The embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for transmitting a data frame. The method comprises: acquiring at least one address of a destination address (DA) and a source address (SA), that are corresponding to data transmission direction information; determining, according to the data transmission direction information, an address field for carrying at least one address of the DA and the SA; and sending the data frame comprising the address field to a receiver. The method and apparatus for transmitting a data frame disclosed by the present invention can reduce overhead of an MAC frame header, improve transmission efficiency, and enable a station to acquire DA and/or SA of a data frame.
