COMMUNICATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS

Abstract

This application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus, and relates to the communication field. In the method, a beacon frame sent by an AP includes at least one of first indication information and second indication information. The first indication information indicates whether a format of the beacon frame changes, or the first indication information indicates a format of the beacon frame. The second indication information indicates whether a TIM field in the beacon frame needs to be received. A STA detects at least one of the first indication information and the second indication information in the beacon frame, and receives the beacon frame based on a detection result. According to the solutions, the STA can receive the beacon frame in a corresponding format based on an indication of the AP, and does not need to detect all possible frame formats.
