Abstract:
A multicast information transmission method and device. The method includes sending a delivery traffic indication map (DTIM) beacon frame to a station (STA), where the DTIM beacon frame is used to indicate multicast groups which have multicast information to be sent; and according to an order of a multicast identifier (ID) of the multicast groups which have multicast information to be sent, in preset sending intervals, sending multicast information of the multicast groups which have multicast information to be sent, so that the STA receives multicast information of a multicast group to which the STA belongs in a receiving interval corresponding to the multicast group to which the STA belongs. The technical solutions in the present invention reduce STA resource waste.
Abstract:
A method includes: obtaining, by a transmit end, switching information of a STA, where the switching information includes that the STA switches to a TIM STA or the STA switches to a Non-TIM STA; and sending, by the transmit end, a first message to a receive end, where the first message includes a flag bit, and the flag bit identifies the switching information. According to the embodiments of the present invention, both a STA and an AP can learn switching of a STA working mode, so that correct switching of the STA can be implemented, and the AP can perform correct processing according to a switching situation of the STA.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and device for allocating WLAN channel resources and a wireless local area network communication system. The method includes: obtaining subcarrier allocation information, where the subcarrier allocation information is used to identify a subcarrier or a subcarrier group used to bear data, where channel quality of a subchannel where the subcarrier or the subcarrier group is located is greater than or equal to a judgment threshold; and sending data on the subcarrier according to the subcarrier allocation information. The present invention reduces a waste of transmit power of a station, and can increase a modulation order because no restriction is imposed by pull-down of a subchannel with very poor channel quality.
