COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS BASED ON NON-SIMULTANEOUS TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE MULTI-LINK DEVICE

摘要

The present application discloses a multicast service indication method and apparatus in a multi-link device. Said method comprises: a multi-link access point device generating a first beacon frame carrying multicast indication information, the multicast indication information being used to indicate a station where there is a multicast service to be received; the multi-link access point device sending the first beacon frame; and a multi-link station device receiving the first beacon frame, and if there is a multicast service to be received in the multi-link station device, stopping channel contention with a second station, which and the first station cannot transmit and receive simultaneously. Said method effectively reduces the time delay for a multi-link device to access a channel.
