A channel selection method and a transmit end are provided. The method includes: ranking multiple channels, and generating a backoff count value; sequentially decrementing, from an initial timeslot, the backoff count value in each timeslot according to a ranking sequence of the channels and busy/idle states of all the channels until the backoff count value is 0; and selecting, from the multiple channels according to a result of the decrement performed on the backoff count value and a busy/idle state of at least one of the multiple channels, a channel that is used by the transmit end for sending data. The method and the transmit end can improve channel utilization.

Channel selection method and transmit end

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for obtaining a request of a station, an access point, and a station. The method includes sending, by an access point, a control frame to a station and receiving, by the access point, a request to send frame sent by each station according to the control frame. The method also includes performing, by the access point, resource scheduling on each station according to the received request to send frame.

Method for obtaining request of station, access point, and station

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for obtaining a request of a station, an access point, and a station. The method includes sending, by an access point, a control frame to a station and receiving, by the access point, a frame requesting to send sent by each station according to the control frame. The method also includes performing, by the access point, resource scheduling on each station according to the received frame requesting to send.

Provided are a method and device for sending information. The method for sending information of the present invention comprises: before a sending station sends data, detecting a busy or idle condition of a channel; if the channel is in an idle state, increasing, by the sending station, the maximum time length for occupying the channel, and sending data, wherein the time length for occupying the channel when the data is sent is less than or equal to the increased maximum time length; and if the channel is in a busy state, reducing, by the sending station, the maximum time length for occupying the channel, and sending data, wherein the time length for occupying the channel when the data is sent is less than or equal to the reduced maximum time length.

Method and device for sending information

Embodiments provide a channel selection method and a transmit end, and the method includes: ranking multiple channels, and generating a backoff count value; sequentially decrementing, from an initial timeslot, the backoff count value in each timeslot according to a ranking sequence of the channels and busy/idle states of all the channels until the backoff count value is 0; and selecting, from the multiple channels according to a result of the decrement performed on the backoff count value and a busy/idle state of at least one of the multiple channels, a channel that is used by the transmit end for sending data. The method and the transmit end can improve channel utilization.

A data transmission method and a station are provided. In the method, the station receives an indication frame sent by an access point, where the indication frame is used to allocate a specified random contention channel. The station sends data over the specified random contention channel according to the indication frame and a random probability.

Data transmission method and station

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and a device for accessing a channel. The method includes: receiving a contention request frame transmitted by a first transmitting end device on M sub-carriers, where the M sub-carriers at least have two inconsecutive sub-carriers, and the contention request frame is modulated onto the M sub-carriers; according to the contention request frame, acquiring channel state information about the first transmitting end device respectively on the M sub-carriers, and determining channel state information about the first transmitting end device respectively on N sub-carriers, where the N sub-carriers are obtained by dividing all or a part of a system available frequency band, the N sub-carriers include the M sub-carriers, both N and M are positive integers, N&#x3e;M and M&#x3e;1; and performing allocation of a transmission sub-channel according to the channel state information about the first transmitting end device respectively on the N sub-carriers.
