Abstract
A joint transmission method includes sending, using a first access point (AP), a buffer indication to a second AP instructing the second AP to buffer first data, sending the first data to a station (STA), receiving a response frame from the STA, determining, based on the response frame, whether a joint transmission procedure needs to be initiated, sending a joint transmission indication to a third AP in response to determining to initiate the joint transmission procedure, where the joint transmission indication instructs the third AP to send second data to the STA, where the second data comprises all or a part of the first data, and where the third AP is the second AP, and sending the second data.
