Abstract

A communication method disclosed in the present disclosure includes: receiving, by an access point, a sending request sent by a first station, and sending clear to send information to the first station; when the access point receives feedback information sent by the first station, allocating, by the access point, a channel to the first station, and allocating a channel to a second station based on remaining bandwidth; generating a first trigger frame, and sending the first trigger frame to the first station and the second station; and receiving uplink data sent by the first station and the second station. The present disclosure further provides an access point and a station that can implement the communication method. According to the present disclosure, bandwidth utilization of the access point and data transmission efficiency can be improved.
