Abstract
This application provides a method including: generating, by an access point (AP), a plurality of first media access control MAC frames, where the plurality of first MAC frames are corresponding to a plurality of stations (STAs) in a one-to-one manner, and each of the plurality of first MAC frames carries a target wake time (TWT) parameter of a corresponding STA or instruction information for instructing a corresponding STA to send a TWT parameter to the AP; and sending, by the AP, a corresponding first MAC frame to each of the plurality of STAs simultaneously, where the first MAC frame is used to determine a TWT parameter with a STA corresponding to the first MAC frame. According to embodiments of this application, the AP can simultaneously negotiate with the plurality of STAs a TWT parameter of each STA by sending the corresponding first MAC frame to each of the plurality of STAs simultaneously.
