standard, the 802.11bf standard, the IMMW standard, or the SparkLink standard. The responding AP continues the TXOP before the start time of the SP when the conditions are met. The conditions include: switching to the second channel according to an OBSS PPDU received on the first channel, where the OBSS PPDU is from a BSS in which the requesting AP is located, and the second channel does not overlap with the first channel; or switching to the second channel by the responding AP, where the first channel on which the requesting AP works does not overlap with the second channel. Therefore, it is effectively ensured that the responding AP can smoothly communicate with its associated station, and channel utilization is improved.
