Abstract

A communication method includes: determining a first message frame, in which the first message frame includes an uplink multi-user power capability information element; the uplink multi-user power capability information element includes a second information identifier of a relative maximum transmission power of a 4096 QAM modulation mode; and the second information identifier being configured to indicate a maximum power value that the station sends an uplink data frame; and sending the first message frame.

Claims (28)

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

determining a first message frame, wherein the first message frame comprises an uplink multi-user power capability information element, wherein the uplink multi-user power capability information element comprises a second information identifier of a relative maximum transmission power of a 4096 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) mode, wherein the second information identifier is configured to indicate a maximum power value that the station sends an uplink data frame; and

sending the first message frame.

2 . The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink multi-user power capability information element further comprises first information identifiers respectively related to relative maximum transmission powers of QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM, 256-QAM, and 1024-QAM modulation modes.

3 . The communication method according to claim 2 , wherein the first information identifiers respectively correspond to MCS with index numbers ranging from a first value to a second value.

4 . The communication method according to claim 3 , wherein the second information identifier corresponds to an MCS that has an index number different from the index numbers ranging from the first value to the second value.

5 . The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink multi-user power capability information element is comprised in a frame body of the first message frame.

6 . The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink multi-user power capability information element is comprised in a multi-link information element field of the first message frame.

7 . The communication method according to claim 6 , wherein the multi-link information element field comprises an identifier used to indicate a link sending the first message frame.

8 . The communication method according to according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink multi-user power capability information element comprises an information element identifier extension bit.

9 . The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein the information element identifier extension bit is configured to indicate a fifth value of the uplink multi-user power capability information element.

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

receiving a first message frame from a station, wherein the first message frame comprises an uplink multi-user power capability information element, wherein the uplink multi-user power capability information element comprises a second information identifier of a relative maximum transmission power of a 4096 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) mode, wherein the second information identifier is configured to indicate a maximum power value that the station sends an uplink data frame.

11 . The communication method according to claim 10 , wherein the uplink multi-user power capability information element further comprises first information identifiers respectively related to relative maximum transmission powers of QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM, 256-QAM, and 1024-QAM modulation modes.

12 . The communication method according to claim 11 , wherein the first information identifiers respectively correspond to MCS with index numbers ranging from a first value to a second value.

13 . The communication method according to claim 12 , wherein the second information identifier corresponds to an MCS that has an index number different from the index numbers ranging from the first value to the second value.

14 . The communication method according to claim 10 , wherein the uplink multi-user power capability information element is comprised in a frame body of the first message frame.

15 . The communication method according to claim 10 , wherein the uplink multi-user power capability information element is comprised in a multi-link information element field of the first message frame.

16 . The communication method according to claim 15 , wherein the multi-link information element field comprises an identifier used to indicate a link sending the first message frame.

17 . The communication method according to claim 10 , wherein the uplink multi-user power capability information element comprises an information element identifier extension bit.

18 . The communication method according to claim 17 , wherein the information element identifier extension bit is configured to indicate a fifth value of the uplink multi-user power capability information element.

19 . A electronic device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing computer programs executable on the processor;

wherein when the processor executes the computer programs, a communication method is implemented, the communication method comprising:

determining a first message frame, wherein the first message frame comprises an uplink multi-user power capability information element, wherein the uplink multi-user power capability information element comprises a second information identifier of a relative maximum transmission power of a 4096 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) mode, wherein the second information identifier is configured to indicate a maximum power value that a station sends an uplink data frame; and

sending the first message frame.

20 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer programs stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, the communication method of claim 10 , is implemented.
