Abstract: This application relates to the field of wireless fidelity Wi-Fi technologies, and in particular, to a groupcast feedback method, an apparatus, and a system, to send a feedback in a groupcast transmission scenario. According to the method, an access point sends a groupcast data frame and a groupcast feedback trigger frame. The groupcast feedback trigger frame is used to schedule a plurality of stations in a groupcast group to indicate whether the groupcast data frame is correctly decoded.

Abstract: A wireless access point, a terminal device, and a method for waking up a terminal device by a wireless access point. The terminal device includes a primary radio frequency circuit and a wake-up radio (WUR) radio frequency circuit. The WUR radio frequency circuit only receives a radio signal and operates on a specified channel. If the WUR radio frequency circuit receives a wake-up frame on the specified channel and the terminal device is a to-be-woken-up terminal device, the WUR radio frequency circuit wakes up the primary radio frequency circuit. The wake-up frame includes an identifier of the to-be-woken-up terminal device. The primary radio frequency circuit operates on an operating channel of the primary radio frequency circuit after being woken up.

Abstract: A media access control (MAC) address allocation method and device are disclosed. The method includes: a wireless access point device sending a notification message on a wireless medium. The notification message includes at least one candidate virtual MAC address. The wireless access point device receiving, on the wireless medium, a request message from a terminal device. A source address of the request message is a first virtual MAC address. The first virtual MAC address is one of the at least one candidate virtual MAC address.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for coordinated communication between multiple access points, and a storage medium are disclosed. The method includes: A first access point (AP) sends a coordinated frame to an AP in a coordinated group. The coordinated frame indicates at least one AP in the coordinated group and the first AP to perform a coordinated operation within an effective time period. The coordinated group includes a plurality of APs operating on the same channel. The first AP is an AP that obtains an access opportunity for the channel in the coordinated group. A time length of the effective time period exceeds a time length of a transmit opportunity (TXOP). According to this application, channel utilization can be improved.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a system for setting up a direct link, and a method and an apparatus for sending a wireless local area network frame. The method includes: a first multi-link device sets up, based on parameters of a plurality of stations belonging to the first multi-link device and device information of a second multi-link device, at least one direct link between the first multi-link device and the second multi-link device. Each of the at least one direct link is connected to one of the plurality of stations belonging to the first multi-link device and one station belonging to the second multi-link device.

Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a second multi-link device that receives a first message from a first multi-link device, and determines, based on the first message, to send data to the first multi-link device in a duplication transmission mode or a non-duplication transmission mode. The first message indicates transmission modes for the second multi-link device to send different types of data, and the transmission modes include the duplication transmission mode and the non-duplication transmission mode.

Abstract: A receiving station simultaneously receives a plurality of procedure protocol data units (PPDUs) from a sending station on a plurality of channels, where the plurality of PPDUs includes a plurality of media access control protocol data unit (MPDU) sets, and each of the plurality of MPDU sets includes at least a copy of a start MPDU. The receiving station sends a block acknowledgment on one or more channels of the plurality of channels, where the block acknowledgment includes acknowledgment information, and the acknowledgment information indicates acknowledgment of MPDUs successfully received on the plurality of channels and transmission quality of each of the plurality of MPDU sets.
