    Abstract: This application is applicable to a multi-link group addressed traffic transmission method and an apparatus. A first access point (AP) of an AP multi-link device (MLD) sends group addressed traffic indication information indicating whether each AP of other APs of the AP MLD has a group addressed traffic, so that a station (STA) can learn whether the multiple APs have a group addressed traffic. In this way, each STA of the STA MLD does not need to listen to each AP whether each AP has a group addressed traffic. This reduces power consumption of the STA MLD. This application may be applied to a wireless local area network system that supports an IEEE 802.11ax next-generation Wi-Fi EHT protocol, for example, 802.11 series protocols such as 802.11be.

    Abstract: This application provides a communication method and apparatus, and relates to the field of communication technologies. An AP generates a trigger frame, where the trigger frame includes a first user information field, a part or all of a frequency domain resource indicated by a resource unit allocation subfield in a fourth user information field before the first user information field is located on a primary 160 MHz channel, and a part or all of a frequency domain resource indicated by a resource unit allocation subfield in a fourth user information field after the first user information field is located on a secondary 160 MHz channel. Then, the AP sends the trigger frame.

    Abstract: This application discloses a multi-link device probing method and a communication apparatus, which may be applied to a wireless local area network supporting the 802.11be standard. The method includes: A station (STA) multi-link device generates a probe request frame, where the probe request frame carries first indication information used to indicate a first access appoint (AP) working on a first link in an AP multi-link device to feed back communication information of an AP that works on a second link and that is in the AP multi-link device, the communication information is used by the STA multi-link device to perform multi-link communication with the AP multi-link device, the second link is different from a first link; and the STA multi-link device sends the probe request frame on the first link.

    Abstract: This application is applicable to a group addressed traffic transmission method applicable to a plurality of links and an apparatus. In the method, group addressed traffic indication information is used to indicate whether each AP or an AP other than a first AP in an AP MLD has group addressed traffic; or group addressed traffic indication information is used to indicate whether each AP or an AP other than a first AP in an AP MLD and each AP or an AP other than a non-transmitted AP in an AP MLD in which the non-transmitted AP in a multiple BSSID set in which the first AP is located have group addressed traffic. This application is applied to a wireless local area network system that supports an IEEE 802.11ax next-generation Wi-Fi EHT protocol, for example, an 802.11 series protocol such as 802.11be.

    Abstract: This application relates to the field of wireless communication, for example, being applied to a wireless local area network supporting the 802.11be standard, and in particular, relates to a channel access method for a multi-link device and a related apparatus. The method includes: when a length of a first PPDU transmitted on a first link by a first multi-link device is less than or equal to a first value, skipping starting, by the first multi-link device, a medium synchronization delay timer on a second link, where the first multi-link device is not allowed to perform simultaneous transmitting and receiving on the first link and the second link.

    Abstract: This application provides a channel contention method and a related apparatus. The method includes: After data transmission on a first link is completed or a block acknowledgment corresponding to data is received on the first link, a first non-access point station of a first multi-link device performs clear channel assessment CCA detection on a second link in a first time period, where a start moment corresponding to the first time period is the same as a moment at which the data transmission on the first link is completed; and when the CCA detection on the second link fails, the first non-access point station performs channel contention on the second link based on a second time period.
