FRAME TRANSMISSION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK

摘要

The present invention relates to the technical field of communications. Disclosed are a frame transmission method and apparatus for a wireless local area network. In the present invention, in a frame transmission process of a WLAN, a frame sent by a wireless local area network (WLAN) device is received; by detecting a format indication field comprised by the frame, fames of different standards are identified, so as to achieve backward compatibility of the WLAN device; and hybrid networking among WLAN devices of different standards can be supported, thereby improving the flexibility of network deployment and reducing the complexity of the networking.
