Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving data are disclosed. The method for transmitting data, comprising encapsulating one or multiple media access control protocol data units (MPDU) as a group media access control protocol data unit (G-MPDU) based on a length of the group media access control protocol data unit G-MPDU; fragmenting a current MPDU according to a residual length to obtain a fragmented MPDU when the residual length is insufficient to encapsulate the current MPDU; encapsulating the fragmented MPDU to the G-MPDU; and transmitting the encapsulated G-MPDU. The method ensures a high data transmission rate and does not wasting excess time to execute the fragmentation processing. The method also ensures a high resource utilization rate, utilizing fully the remaining length of the data unit.

Abstract: In the present invention, before data transmission, a “connection”, between a requesting end and a destination end, identified by a traffic flow identifier (FID) is established or modified through traffic flow management. Therefore, when the requesting end and the destination end perform data transmission on the traffic flow, the FID alone can sufficiently serve as the identifier, so as to save the need of carrying the destination end identifier in each exchanged data packet, thereby simplifying the operation.
