Abstract

This application relates to the field of wireless communication, and in particular, to a multi-channel hybrid transmission technology. In an embodiment, a data transmission method comprises: generating, by a first wireless communications device, a physical protocol data unit (PPDU), wherein the PPDU comprises a legacy short training field (L-STF), a legacy long training field (L-LTF), a legacy signal field (L-SIG), and two signature symbols after the L-SIG in a time-domain, and wherein the two signature symbols are identical and are modulated based on binary phase shift keying (BPSK), the two signature symbols identify a wireless communications standard the PPDU complies with; and transmitting, by the first wireless communications device, the PPDU to a second wireless communications device.

Claims (32)

1. A data transmission method, wherein the method comprises:

generating, by an access point (AP), a scheduling frame, wherein the scheduling frame comprises one or more first user information fields, one or more second user information fields, and a field indicating that the scheduling frame is of a trigger frame type, wherein the first user information field is configured to schedule a first station (STA) to perform uplink data transmission on a first part channel of a total channel, the second user information field is configured to schedule a second STA to perform uplink data transmission on a second part channel of the total channel, the first STA and the second STA have different capability sets, and the first part channel and the second part channel do not overlap; and

sending, by the AP, the scheduling frame.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first STA complies with a version later than the 802.11ax standard protocol, and the second STA complies with the 802.11ax standard protocol.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the scheduling frame further comprises bandwidth indication information indicating that a bandwidth of the total channel is 320 MHz.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

after receiving uplink hybrid data packets sent by the first STA and the second STA, sending, by the AP, a multi-user block acknowledgment to the first STA and the second STA.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the field indicating that the scheduling frame is of the trigger frame type complying with the standard version later than the 802.11ax standard protocol is located in a common part field of the scheduling frame.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first user information field comprises at least one of:

an association identifier of the first STA, resource indication information of the first STA, a modulation and coding scheme MCS of the first STA, and an indication of a number of streams of the first STA.

7. A device, comprising:

a non-transitory memory storing instructions; and

one or more processors in communication with the memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:

generate a scheduling frame, wherein the scheduling frame comprises one or more first user information fields, one or more second user information fields, and a field indicating that the scheduling frame is of a trigger frame type, wherein the first user information field is configured to schedule a first station STA to perform uplink data transmission on a first part channel of a total channel, the second user information field is configured to schedule a second STA to perform uplink data transmission on a second part channel of the total channel, the first STA and the second STA have different capability sets, and the first part channel and the second part channel do not overlap; and

send the scheduling frame.

8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the first STA complies with a version later than the 802.11ax standard protocol, and the second STA complies with the 802.11ax standard protocol.

9. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the scheduling frame further comprises bandwidth indication information indicating that a bandwidth of the total channel is 320 MHz.

10. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors further execute the instructions to:

after receiving uplink hybrid data packets sent by the first STA and the second STA, send a multi-user block acknowledgment to the first STA and the second STA.

11. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the field indicating that the scheduling frame is of the trigger frame type complying with the standard version later than the 802.11ax standard protocol is located in a common part field of the scheduling frame.

12. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the first user information field comprises at least one of:

an association identifier of the first STA, resource indication information of the first STA, a modulation and coding scheme MCS of the first STA, and an indication of a number of streams of the first STA.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

generate a scheduling frame, wherein the scheduling frame comprises one or more first user information fields, one or more second user information fields, and a field indicating that the scheduling frame is of a trigger frame type, wherein the first user information field is configured to schedule a first station STA to perform uplink data transmission on a first part channel of a total channel, the second user information field is used to schedule a second STA to perform uplink data transmission on a second part channel of the total channel, the first STA and the second STA have different capability sets, and the first part channel and the second part channel do not overlap; and

send the scheduling frame.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 13 , wherein the first STA complies with a version later than the 802.11ax standard protocol, and the second STA complies with the 802.11ax standard protocol.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 13 , wherein the scheduling frame further comprises bandwidth indication information indicating that a bandwidth of the total channel is 320 MHz.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 13 , wherein the one or more processors are further caused to:

after receiving uplink hybrid data packets sent by the first STA and the second STA, send a multi-user block acknowledgment to the first STA and the second STA.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 13 , wherein the field indicating that the scheduling frame is of the trigger frame type complying with the standard version later than the 802.11ax standard protocol is located in a common part field of the scheduling frame.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 13 , wherein the first user information field comprises at least one of:

an association identifier of the first STA, resource indication information of the first STA, a modulation and coding scheme MCS of the first STA, and an indication of a number of streams of the first STA.
