METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING ASSOCIATION BETWEEN STATION AND ACCESS POINT, AND DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for establishing an association between a station (STA) and an access point (AP), wherein the method comprises:
- sending, by the STA, an association request frame to the AP, wherein the association request frame comprises a service type element, and the service type element is used for indicating a sensor service type, an offloading service type, or another service type to which the STA belongs, wherein the sensor service type comprises a first sensor service or a second sensor service, and the offloading service type comprises a first offloading service or a second offloading service; and
receiving, by the STA, an association response frame sent by the AP, wherein the association response frame is a response of the AP to the association request frame, and the service type element is used by the AP to determine a service type to which the STA belongs.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for establishing an association between a STA and an AP, and the method includes: sending, by the STA, an association request frame to the AP, where the association request frame includes a service type element, and the service type element is used for indicating a sensor service type, an offloading service type, or a hybrid service type to which the STA belongs, where the sensor service type includes a first sensor service or a second sensor service, and the offloading service type includes a first offloading service or a second offloading service; and receiving, by the STA, an association response frame sent by the AP, where the association response frame is generated by the AP after determining, according to the service type element, a service type to which the STA belongs.
