Disclosed are a method and device for joining a central-type cluster, which belong to the field of communications. The method comprises: receiving a DMG Beacon frame sent by a first S-AP, the DMG Beacon frame containing cluster information about the first S-AP; according to the cluster information about the first S-AP, measuring the state and signal quality of each Beacon SP included in the BI of the first S-AP; if a Beacon SP, the state of which is an idle state, is measured, associating same with the first S-AP as a PCP/non-AP station, and receiving an Announce frame sent by the first S-AP, the Announce frame containing cluster information about a second S-AP and an available cluster offset bitmap of the first S-AP; according to the available cluster offset bitmap of the first S-AP, the state and signal quality of each Beacon SP included in the BI of the first S-AP, and the cluster information about the second S-AP, selecting one S-AP from the first S-AP and the second S-AP as an S-AP to be joined; and joining a central-type cluster of the S-AP to be joined. The present invention can join a central-type cluster and improve the stability of the joined central-type cluster. |
