Abstract
Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and apparatus, and relate to the field of communication technologies, to resolve a technical problem that more features and functions cannot be supported in the 802.11be standard or a future Wi-Fi standard if an HLA 5 control subfield continues to be used. The method includes: A first communication apparatus generates a PPDU, and sends the PPDU to a second communication apparatus. The PPDU includes a first field whose quantity of bits is 26, and the first field includes an unsolicited MFB subfield whose quantity of bits is 1 and first indication information whose quantity of bits is 1. When a value of the unsolicited MFB subfield is a first value, the first indication information indicates an 10 MRQ; or when a value of the unsolicited MFB subfield is a second value, the first indication information indicates an UL EHT TB PPDU MFB. 20 24 26 46 14 13 N ov 2 02 4 A B S T R A C T 2 0 2 4 2 6 4 6 1 4 1 3 N o v 2 0 2 4 i n f o r m a t i o n i n d i c a t e s a n U L E H T T B P P D U M F B .
