Abstract
Embodiments of this application disclose a scheduling method in a wireless local area network (WLAN), including: generating, by an access point (AP), scheduling information, where the scheduling information includes multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scheduling information or beamforming (BF) scheduling information, the MIMO scheduling information is used to schedule a station (STA) to perform MIMO communication, and the BF scheduling information is used to schedule the STA to perform beamforming training; and sending, by the AP, the scheduling information to the STA. According to the scheduling method in a WLAN that is disclosed in the embodiments of this application, the AP can implement, by using the scheduling information, scheduling for the MIMO communication of the STA and BF in a MIMO scenario, and an operation is simple and convenient.
