Abstract
In implementations of the present disclosure, there is provided an approach for transmitting a broadcast frame (BC) or a multicast (MC) frame. A method comprises obtaining a BC frame or an MC frame. Moreover, multiple links used by an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) are determined. Then, a master link is selected from the multiple links based on the usage condition of the multiple links. The BC frame or the MC frame is converted to a unicast frame for the master link. Next, the unicast frame is transmitted to a station MLD of the set of stations by using the master link. Implementations of the present disclosure can reduce a waste of time for a station MLD, a waste of channel resources, and serious issues for dynamic multicast optimization on the station side.
