Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a frame transmission method and an apparatus for a wireless local area network, which relate to the field of communications technologies. In the present invention, in a WLAN frame transmission process, a frame sent by a wireless local area network WLAN device is received, and identification of frames of different standards is completed by detecting a format indication field included in the frame, so as to implement backward compatibility of the WLAN device, so that hybrid networking of WLAN devices of different standards can be supported, flexibility of network deployment is improved, and networking complexity is reduced.
