Embodiments of the present invention relate to communication technologies, in particular, to a method and an apparatus for protocol transmission in a wireless local area network. A method for transmitting multi-user data in a reverse direction protocol according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: within a transmission opportunity (TXOP) of a first station, if the TXOP is not over after the first station finishes sending data to an access point (AP), obtaining, by the AP, the TXOP, where the obtaining, by the AP, the TXOP is implemented through granting a remaining part of the TXOP to the access point AP by the first station as a reverse direction protocol initiator; and within the TXOP, sending, by the AP, second data to at least two stations, where the at least two stations include the first station.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an encoding method for a traffic indication map and a beacon frame, which relate to a communication field, enable a user to know whether there are data cached in an access point or enable a user terminal to know whether to access to a channel, and reduce the quantity of bytes occupied by the traffic indication map in the beacon frame. The encoding method for a traffic indication map provided by the embodiments comprises: controlling whether to display a sub-block bitmap display field in a sub-bitmap by marking at least one bit in a bitmap control field, a sub-block sub-bitmap in the sub-bitmap being used for enabling a user terminal to know whether there are data cached in an access point, or enabling the user terminal to know whether to access to a channel.
