FRAME AGGREGATION METHOD, NETWORK SETUP FRAME SENDING METHOD, AND DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed in the present application are a frame aggregation method, a network setup frame sending method, and a device. A first forwarding node device receives a first data frame and a second data frame, the first data frame comprising a first MAC header and a first MSDU, the second data frame comprising a second MAC header and a second MSDU, the destination MAC address in the first MAC header being the same as that in the second MAC header. A first aggregated frame is generated, and the first aggregated frame comprises an aggregated MAC header and an aggregated MSDU. The destination MAC address in the aggregated MAC header is the same as the destination MAC address above. The aggregated MSDU comprises a first sub-MSDU and a second sub-MSDU. The first sub-MSDU comprises the first MSDU and the source MAC address of the first data frame, and the second sub-MSDU comprises the second MSDU and the source MAC address of the second data frame. The second forwarding node device sends the first aggregated frame. Said method helps to reduce packet overheads and reduce the number of channel contentions.
