Abstract
The present invention discloses a service processing method and apparatus, which belong to the field of Internet technologies. After the AP and an STA first perform MAC address change notification and then establish a first MAC connection, the AP sends service data of the STA to the STA through the first MAC connection by using a resource related to a second MAC connection. Therefore, in a MAC address change process, there is no need to re-establish a resource at an upper layer of a MAC layer, and only a change in invoking a MAC layer resource is required at a layer at which the MAC layer resource is used. Time and a resource for processing a service can be reduced without affecting service continuity and stability of the upper layer. Therefore, the service is processed in a timely manner and service processing efficiency is improved.
