UPLINK RESOURCE ALLOCATION METHOD, ACCESS TERMINAL, AND ACCESS POINT

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide an uplink resource allocation method. The method includes: sending, by an access terminal, a first request to an access point, where the first request carries identifier information of the access terminal and indication information indicating that the access terminal has a small packet service, so that the access point groups the access terminal according to the identifier information, where each group includes at least two access terminals; receiving group information that is sent by the access point and that includes group identifier information of a group that is allocated by the access point to the access terminal and an in-group identifier of the access terminal in the group; determining, according to the group information, a terminal transmission resource that is allocated by the access point to the access terminal; and transmitting data to the access point on the terminal transmission resource. In this way, an AP can perform scheduling in a grouping mode instead of performing dynamic scheduling for each STA by using an existing dynamic scheduling method. Therefore, scheduling overheads can be reduced, and data transmission efficiency can be improved.
