Abstract
The present invention discloses a channel reservation method and a communications device. The method includes: generating, by a first device, a first indication frame, where the first indication frame is used for indicating a moment at which a second device sends a channel reservation frame, and the channel reservation frame is used for reserving a channel to be used when the first device sends data to the second device; and sending, by the first device, the first indication frame to multiple second devices. In the channel reservation method, a sender device in a data transmission process indicates a moment at which a receiver device sends a channel reservation frame, so that multiple receiver devices in the data transmission process send channel reservation frames at the same time, which avoids contention between the receiver devices in current data transmission, thereby reducing a collision probability, and reducing system overheads.
