Abstract

A communication method includes: determining a first message frame, where the first message frame includes information related to a periodic low-latency service, and the information is configured to indicate the periodic low-latency service sent by a station; and sending the first message frame.

Claims (52)

1 . A communication method, performed by a station, and comprising:

determining a first message frame, wherein the first message frame comprises information related to a periodic low-latency service, and the information is configured to indicate the periodic low-latency service sent by the station;

sending the first message frame; and

sending a second message frame, wherein the second message frame comprises an extreme high throughput capability element of the station;

wherein the extreme high throughput capability element comprises an identifier configured to indicate that the station supports the periodic low-latency service.

2 . The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the extreme high throughput capability element further comprises:

an identifier configured to indicate that the station supports a low-latency service.

3 . The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the second message frame is sent during a process of an association of the station with an access point.

4 . The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the first message frame is sent during a process of interaction of the station with an access point.

5 . The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the information related to the periodic low-latency service comprises at least one of following:

a size of the periodic low-latency service;

a periodic interval of the periodic low-latency service;

a category of an access point corresponding to the periodic low-latency service;

a traffic identifier corresponding to the periodic low-latency service;

time information; or

a number of transmissions of the periodic low-latency service.

6 . The communication method according to claim 5 , wherein the periodic interval is configured to identify a time interval between sending two adjacent periodic low-latency services, wherein the time information is configured to identify a time point at which the periodic low-latency service is sent after the first message frame is sent, and the number of transmissions is configured to identify a number of continuous transmissions needed for the periodic low-latency service.

7 . The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the information related to the periodic low-latency service is comprised in an A-control domain of the first message frame, or the information related to the periodic low-latency service is comprised in an MAC frame header part of the first message frame.

8 . The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the first message frame further comprises information for indicating an early termination of the periodic low-latency service.

9 . A communication method, performed by an access point, and comprising:

receiving a first message frame from a station, wherein the first message frame comprises information related to a periodic low-latency service, and the information is configured to indicate the periodic low-latency service sent by the station;

determining a third message frame based on the information related to the periodic low-latency service, wherein the third message frame is configured to allocate transmission resources for the station periodically; and

sending a fourth message frame, wherein the fourth message frame comprises an extreme high throughput capability element of the access point;

wherein the extreme high throughput capability element comprises an identifier configured to indicate that the access point supports the periodic low-latency service.

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

determining the third message frame under other connection in response to the access point not being able to allocate the transmission resources under a connection configured to receive the first message frame, wherein the third message frame comprises a connection identifier of the other connection.

11 . The communication method according to claim 9 , wherein the extreme high throughput capability element further comprises:

an identifier configured to indicate that the access point supports a low-latency service.

12 . The communication method according to claim 9 , wherein the information related to the periodic low-latency service comprises at least one of following:

a size of the periodic low-latency service;

a periodic interval of the periodic low-latency service;

a category of the access point corresponding to the periodic low-latency service;

a traffic identifier corresponding to the periodic low-latency service;

time information; or

a number of transmissions of the periodic low-latency service.

13 . The communication method according to claim 12 , further comprising:

terminating the periodic low-latency service in response to a number of the transmission resources allocated by the access point reaching the number of transmissions of the periodic low-latency service.

14 . The communication method according to claim 9 , wherein the first message frame further comprises information configured to indicate an early termination of the periodic low-latency service.

15 . The communication method according to claim 14 , further comprising:

terminating the periodic low-latency service in response to the information configured to indicate the early termination of the periodic low-latency service.

16 . An electronic device, comprising:

a memory;

a processor; and

a computer program stored on the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

determine a first message frame, wherein the first message frame comprises information related to a periodic low-latency service, and the information is configured to indicate the periodic low-latency service sent by a station;

send the first message frame; and

send a second message frame, wherein the second message frame comprises an extreme high throughput capability element of the station;

wherein the extreme high throughput capability element comprises an identifier configured to indicate that the station supports the periodic low-latency service.

17 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, in response to being executed by a processor, causes the processor to implement the communication method according to claim 1 .

18 . An electronic device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored on the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein when the processor executes the computer program, the communication method according to claim 9 is implemented.

19 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, in response to being executed by a processor, causes the processor to implement the communication method according to claim 9 .

20 . The communication method according to claim 9 , wherein the extreme high throughput capability element of the access point is comprised in an A-control domain of the fourth message frame.
