1. A service processing method, wherein the service processing method comprises:

  • receiving, by an access point, a connection request that is sent by a station (STA) by using a first media access control (MAC) address, and establishing a first MAC connection to the STA according to the first MAC address, wherein the first MAC address is the MAC address of the STA after the STA changes its MAC address from a second MAC address to the first MAC address;

    receiving, by the access point, a MAC address change message that is sent by the STA in an encryption mode, wherein the MAC address change message carries the second MAC address, and determining that a second MAC connection to the STA has previously been established by using the second MAC address; and

    completing a MAC address changeover with respect to the STA changing from the second MAC address to the first MAC address without re-establishing a resource at an upper layer of a MAC layer by sending, by the access point, service data of the STA to the STA through the first MAC connection by using a resource related to the second MAC connection.
