Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for transmitting signaling. The method includes: modulating, by using a binary phase shift keying BPSK manner of rotation by a first angle, at least partial signaling information carried in at least one signaling symbol in a signaling field of a data packet, to obtain modulated signaling information, where the first angle is not equal to 0 degrees or 90 degrees; and sending, to a receive end, the data packet that carries the modulated signaling information. In the embodiments of the present invention, the signaling field of the data packet is modulated by using a modulation manner different from a conventional modulation manner, so that a data packet format corresponding to such a modulation manner can be distinguished from a conventional data packet format.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, an access point, and a station for establishing an association in a WLAN. The method includes: sending an association message to a group of stations STAs including a plurality of STAs in the wireless local area network WLAN; sending a first notification to the group of STAs, where the first notification carries identifier information of each STA and information about a scheduling sequence for each STA; and receiving response messages sequentially sent, according to the scheduling sequence in the first notification, in response to the association message by the group of STAs. Thereby reducing the number of channel contentions, accelerating the process of associating the STAs with the AP, and ensuring that a STA used for a key application can establish an association with the AP quickly.
