Communication method, communication device, and computer program product

Abstract

A communication method comprises allocating a first subset of a data flow to be transmitted to a station to a first access point participating in multi-access point cooperative joint transmission, wherein the first subset of the data flow is transmitted via a first communication path between the first access point and the station; and allocating a second subset of the data flow, different from the first subset, to a second access point participating in multi-access point cooperative joint transmission, wherein the second subset of the data flow is transmitted via a second communication path between the second access point and the station. The data volumes of the first subset and the second subset are determined based on the throughputs of the first communication path and the second communication path. By adjusting the respective transmitted data volumes according to the throughputs of the multiple communication paths between the multiple access points and the station, data transmission efficiency to the station can be improved and throughput increased.
