Abstract

The present disclosure provides communication methods and apparatuses. In an aspect, a communication method includes: determining a first message frame, where the first message frame includes information for identifying a support capability for transmitting and/or receiving an aggregated physical (PHY) protocol data unit (A-PPDU); and transmitting the first message frame.

Claims (37)

1 . A communication method, comprising:

determining a first message frame, wherein the first message frame comprises information for identifying a support capability for at least one of transmitting and receiving an aggregated physical (PHY) protocol data unit (A-PPDU), and the information is comprised in an extremely high throughput PHY capability information element or an extremely high throughput media access control (MAC) capability information element; and

transmitting the first message frame, and

wherein the communication method further comprises:

determining an identification method of a bandwidth of a downlink (DL) A-PPDU or an uplink (UL) A-PPDU based on types of devices for performing a transmission of the DL A-PPDU or the UL A-PPDU.

2 . The communication method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to performing a transmission of a downlink (DL) A-PPDU and the DL A-PPDU comprises at least two downlink PPDUs, identifying a bandwidth of the DL A-PPDU as a maximum working bandwidth covered by all of the at least two downlink PPDUs.

3 . The communication method according to claim 2 , wherein a device that transmits the DL A-PPDU and devices that receive the at least two downlink PPDUs are devices that support extremely high throughput communication.

4 . The communication method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to performing a transmission of a downlink (DL) A-PPDU and the DL A-PPDU comprises at least two downlink PPDUs, identifying bandwidths of the at least two downlink PPDUs respectively.

5 . The communication method according to claim 4 , wherein there are one or more stations supporting high-efficiency (HE) communication among stations receiving the at least two downlink PPDUs.

6 . The communication method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to performing a transmission of an uplink (UL) A-PPDU and the UL A-PPDU comprises at least two uplink PPDUs, identifying bandwidths of the at least two uplink PPDUs respectively.

7 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the communication method according to claim 1 is implemented when the computer program is executed by a processor.

8 . A communication method, comprising:

receiving a first message frame, wherein the first message frame comprises information for identifying a support capability for at least one of transmitting and receiving an aggregated physical (PHY) protocol data unit (A-PPDU), and the information is comprised in an extremely high throughput PHY capability information element or an extremely high throughput media access control (MAC) capability information element; and

performing a communication operation based on the first message frame;

wherein an identification method of a bandwidth of a downlink (DL) A-PPDU or an uplink (UL) A-PPDU is determined based on types of devices for performing a transmission of the DL A-PPDU or the UL A-PPDU.

9 . The communication method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

in response to performing a transmission of a downlink (DL) A-PPDU and the DL A-PPDU comprises at least two downlink PPDUs, identifying a bandwidth of the DL A-PPDU as a maximum working bandwidth covered by all of the at least two downlink PPDUs.

10 . The communication method according to claim 9 , wherein a device that transmits the DL A-PPDU and devices that receive the at least two downlink PPDUs are devices that support extremely high throughput communication.

11 . The communication method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

in response to performing a transmission of a downlink (DL) A-PPDU and the DL A-PPDU comprises at least two downlink PPDUs, identifying bandwidths of the at least two downlink PPDUs respectively.

12 . The communication method according to claim 11 , wherein there are one or more stations supporting high-efficiency (HE) communication among stations receiving the at least two downlink PPDUs.

13 . The communication method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

in response to performing a transmission of an uplink (UL) A-PPDU and the UL A-PPDU comprises at least two uplink PPDUs, identifying bandwidths of the at least two uplink PPDUs respectively.

14 . An electronic device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer program to perform the communication method according to claim 8 .

15 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the communication method according to claim 8 is implemented when the computer program is executed by a processor.

16 . An electronic device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer program to perform operations comprising:

determining a first message frame, wherein the first message frame comprises information for identifying a support capability for at least one of transmitting and receiving an aggregated physical (PHY) protocol data unit (A-PPDU), and the information is comprised in an extremely high throughput PHY capability information element or an extremely high throughput media access control (MAC) capability information element; and

transmitting the first message frame, and

wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer program to perform:

determining an identification method of a bandwidth of a downlink (DL) A-PPDU or an uplink (UL) A-PPDU based on types of devices for performing a transmission of the DL A-PPDU or the UL A-PPDU.

17 . The electronic device according to claim 16 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

in response to performing a transmission of a downlink (DL) A-PPDU and the DL A-PPDU comprises at least two downlink PPDUs, identifying a bandwidth of the DL A-PPDU as a maximum working bandwidth covered by all of the at least two downlink PPDUs.

18 . The electronic device according to claim 16 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

in response to performing a transmission of a downlink (DL) A-PPDU and the DL A-PPDU comprises at least two downlink PPDUs, identifying bandwidths of the at least two downlink PPDUs respectively.
