Abstract
Provided are a radio frame sending method and apparatus. In the method, when entering an awake state from a doze state, a station selects a pre-defined access category or an access category which is pre-negotiated with a centre station to contend for a wireless channel. Afterwards, the station sends a radio frame to the centre station via the wireless channel obtained through the contention, and then notifies the centre station to send buffered data to the station. The method and apparatus can be applied to flexibly and dynamically regulate an access category used for contending for a wireless channel when a station sends a radio frame which is used for notifying a centre station to send buffered data to the station.
