Embodiments of the present invention provide a channel contention method and apparatus. The channel contention apparatus in the present invention belongs to a basic service set BSS, the BSS includes an access point AP and at least one first station STA, both the AP and the at least one first STA participate in channel contention, and the apparatus is the AP or any first STA. The apparatus includes: a sensing module, configured to sense a channel, and a contention module, configured to contend for the channel, where the AP centrally performs control and scheduling so that all of at least one network device in the BSS can transmit data by using the channel. The present invention resolves a problem of low channel contention success rate for a BSS in a WLAN system. |
