Abstract

This application discloses methods and apparatuses applicable to multiple links, for example, in a wireless local area network supporting an 802.11be standard. In an example, a first station (STA) of a first non-access-point multi-link device (non-AP MLD) receives individually addressed traffic indication information that indicates whether the first non-AP MLD associated with a first access point multi-link device (AP MLD) has a downlink individually addressed traffic and whether a second non-AP MLD associated with a second AP MLD has a downlink individually addressed traffic. The second AP MLD is an AP MLD to which a non-transmitted AP belongs, and the non-transmitted AP is in a multiple basic service set identifier (BSSID) set in which the first AP is located. The first STA determines whether the first non-AP MLD has a downlink individually addressed traffic according to the individually addressed traffic indication information.
