Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, an access point, and a station for establishing an association in a WLAN. The method includes: sending an association message to a group of stations STAs including a plurality of STAs in the wireless local area network WLAN; sending a first notification to the group of STAs, where the first notification carries identifier information of each STA and information about a scheduling sequence for each STA; and receiving response messages sequentially sent, according to the scheduling sequence in the first notification, in response to the association message by the group of STAs. According to the embodiments of the present invention, in a process of associating STAs with an AP, the AP arranges a scheduling sequence for a selected group of STAs, so that the group of STAs may sequentially send response messages to the AP without having to contend for a channel, thereby reducing the number of channel contentions, accelerating the process of associating the STAs with the AP, and ensuring that a STA used for a key application can establish an association with the AP quickly. |
