A wireless communication device that communicates with a plurality of slave units, including: a transmitter that transmits a data transmission instruction including a first identification information of a single slave unit among the plurality of slave units; a receiver that receives data corresponding to the data transmission instruction from the single slave unit; wherein the transmitter transmits to the plurality of slave units acknowledgment data which has incorporated second identification information into an acknowledgment to the data received from the single slave unit, the second identification information indicating another slave unit which transmits data corresponding to a next data transmission instruction to the wireless communication device.

A communication device, processing device or method constructs M RLC PDUs including M RLC SDUs, respectively, where M is larger than 1; submits, for a transmission opportunity, only L RLC PDUs for L RLC SDUs with lowest L SNs among the M RLC PDUs to a MAC layer, where L<M and the L RLC PDUs include a first RLC PDU having a poll to trigger status reporting at a receiving device; transmits the L RLC PDUs to the receiving device; constructs a second RLC PDU including a second RLC SDU having a highest SN among SNs of RLC SDUs submitted to the MAC layer, when the poll retransmission timer started upon submitting the first RLC PDU having the poll expires and no new RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment can be transmitted.

A method and a device for transmitting and receiving a PPDU on the basis of an FDD in a wireless LAN system are presented. Particularly, an AP transmits a trigger frame to a first STA and a second STA. The AP transmits a first downlink (DL) PPDU to the first STA on the basis of the trigger frame. The AP transmits a second DL PPDU to the second STA on the basis of the trigger frame. The AP receives a first uplink (UL) PPDU from the second STA on the basis of the trigger frame. The trigger frame includes bandwidth information of a primary channel and a secondary channel. The first DL PPDU is transmitted through the primary channel. The second DL PPDU and the first UL PPDU are transmitted through the secondary channel. The first and second DL PPDU are simultaneously transmitted. The first UL PPDU is received after a preset period after the second DL PPDU is transmitted.

Embodiments of this application relate to the communication field, and in particular, to a multi-link communication method and an apparatus. A STA in a STA MLD sends an information frame on a link corresponding to the station, and the information frame is used to indicate a STA in an awake state in the STA MLD. An AP MLD receives the information frame, and sends a downlink message frame on a one or more links corresponding to a part of or all of STAs in the awake state in the STA MLD, to assist the part of or all of the stations in fast accessing a channel without waiting for a NAVSyncDelay time period.

A method for coordinated communication and an apparatus for coordinated communication are provided. The method includes: a first access point (AP) sends an announcement message and/or a polling message to one or more second APs. The announcement message announces that the first AP may share a time resource of the first AP. The announcement message may further include identifier information that indicates the one or more second APs, and time information that indicate communication or channel contention of the one or more second APs in the time resource shared by the first AP. The polling message may be used to notify a second AP to start to use, at a preset time, a channel resource shared by the first AP with the second AP for communication or start channel contention at the preset time.

[Object] To provide a wireless link usable in a more stable manner in a situation where beam management is performed. A communication apparatus includes: a control unit that performs control such that a plurality of reference signals associated with pieces of antenna information different from each other is transmitted to a terminal apparatus; and an acquisition unit that acquires control information corresponding to at least any one of the plurality of reference signals from the terminal apparatus after a random access response in a random access procedure is transmitted to the terminal apparatus. The control unit controls following communication with the terminal apparatus on the basis of the antenna information corresponding to the acquired control information.
