In at least some embodiments, a channel resource scheduling method includes sending a management frame that includes directional channel quality measurement information. The directional channel quality measurement information includes identifiers of at least two candidate station pairs selected by the access point to perform channel quality measurement and a channel resource that is used for directional channel quality measurement and that is allocated to each candidate station pair in the at least two candidate station pairs. A directional channel quality measurement report returned by each candidate station in the at least two candidate station pairs is received. At least two target station pairs to perform spatial sharing are selected based on the directional channel quality measurement report of each candidate station. In at least some embodiments, the directional channel quality measurement information can be carried in the management frame to save the channel resource and improve system efficiency.

Channel resource scheduling method and apparatus

This application discloses an authentication and association method and system. An access point AP receives an authentication request sent by a station STA that needs to establish a connection to a service device; the AP establishes authentication with the STA; after the STA sends an association request to the service device, the AP receives an authentication result query request sent by the service device, and sends a result of the authentication result query request to the service device, so that the service device determines whether to establish an association with the STA; if the result shows that the STA is authenticated by the AP, the service device can establish an association with the STA; or if the result shows that the STA fails to be authenticated by the AP, the STA cannot establish an association with the service device.

Authentication and association method and system

Method includes: determining, by a Access Point, AP, a duration of a time segment according to the number of sensor stations and a size of uplink data and a data transmission rate of the sensor stations in a network; wherein in the time segment, only sensor stations are allowed to perform access contention; sending, by the AP, a beacon frame, wherein the beacon frame carries information about the time segment.

The present invention provides a method and device for acquiring and transmitting data by an STA in a wireless local area network. The method includes: transmitting, by the STA, a PS-Poll, and receiving downlink data returned by the AP upon receipt of the PS-Poll, in a reserved time period within a current beacon interval according to a TIM contained in a beacon, after learning that the AP has the downlink data of the STA according to the received beacon, wherein the reserved time period is a period of time interval within the beacon interval; retransmitting, by the STA, the PS-Poll after the reserved time period to acquire the downlink data, if the STA can not successfully receive the downlink data within the reserved time period. Through the above solution, a mechanism is provided to address a situation that unsuccessful receiving/transmission of data can not be handled.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for receiving fragments as well as a method and apparatus for transmitting fragments. The method for receiving fragments includes: receiving a group of fragments from a transmitter through a first channel, where the transmitter suspend transmitting a next group of fragments after the group of fragments is transmitted; and transmitting one or a plurality of first acknowledgement messages to the transmitter through the first channel immediately after the group of fragments are received. According to embodiments of the present invention, the acknowledgement messages may be immediately transmitted to the transmitter through a current channel after one group of fragments are received through the current channel, thereby avoiding the delay of a fragment receiving and transmitting process, which is caused by the competition and occupation of the channel by other nodes, and thus improving transmission efficiency.
