A resource indication method and device based on multiple time periods

Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention provides a resource indication method applied to multiple time periods, the method includes: an access point sends a trigger frame, the trigger frame carries multiple time period information fields, and each time period of the multiple time period information fields The information field contains public information and user-specific information of one or more stations; the access point receives the multi-time period uplink physical layer protocol data unit PPDU, and the multi-time period uplink PPDU includes uplink data sent by multiple stations in multiple time periods ; The access point sends an acknowledgment frame. The embodiment of the present invention also provides a corresponding resource indicating device. By applying the method and device of the embodiment of the present invention, efficient resource indication and confirmation for multiple time periods in the 802.11ax system can be realized, and the efficiency of transmitting small packet services of existing WLAN equipment can be improved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and in particular relates to a multi-time segment-based resource indication method and device. Background technique

[0002] The existing wireless local area network (English: Wireless local Access Network, referred to as: WLAN) standard based on OFDM (English: Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing, Chinese: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology has gradually evolved from 802.11a, 802.11n, 802.11 ac and other versions, currently the IEEE (English: Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Chinese: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 standard organization has launched a new generation of WLAN standards called HEW (High Efficiency WLAN, high-efficiency wireless local area network) 802.11 ax standardization work, by introducing OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) technology, 802...
