Description

一种资源指示方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域，尤其涉及一种资源指示方法及装置。
背景技术
目前，多用户传输已成为无线局域网络发展的一个热点，例如MU-MIMO(Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output，多用户多输入多输出)系统和OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access，正交频分多址接入)系统，由于多用户传输方式的引入，为保证多个站点与接入点(AP，Access Point)之间使用指定的资源块进行有效的通信，接入点对各个站点进行资源指示的开销急剧增加。
示例性的，如图1所示，接入点逐个地为站点中的用户/用户组进行资源指示，以指示站点向接入点发送MAC(Media Access Control，媒体访问控制)帧或接收接入点发送的MAC帧时所使用的资源块信息，其中，对于单个用户(SU，singer-user)的资源指示，可以包括PAID(Partial Associate ID，部分关联标识)，用来标识站点；DL(Down Link，下行链路)/UL(Uplink，上行链路)type(类型)，用来指示资源块属于下行帧还是上行帧；MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme，调制与编码策略)用来指示调制与编码策略；NSTS(Number of Space-Time Stream，时空流数)用来指示使用的时空流个数；LDPC(Low Density Parity Check，低密度奇偶校验码)用于指示是否使用LDPC编码方式；STBC(Space Time Block Coding，空时分组编码)用来指示是否采用STBC等。类似的，对于用户组(MU，multi-user)的资源指示，PAID可变为GID(Group ID)，用来指示用户组的标识。
其中，接入点完成对一个单个用户的资源指示需要花费60比特(bit)，而完成对一个用户组的资源指示需要花费84bit，然而对 于BA(Block Acknowledge，块确认)帧、ACK(Acknowledge，确认)帧这类应答帧，其大小仅为10至30字节(byte，1byte＝8bit)左右，可以看出，与应答帧的实际大小相比，接入点对这类应答帧进行资源指示的开销过大，因此，现有技术中接入点为站点进行资源指示时的资源利用率不高。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图，对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。
在本发明的实施例中，接入点向站点发送的数据帧可称为下行帧，而站点向接入点发送的数据帧可称为上行帧。
具体的，接入点在向站点发送下行帧之前，还需要向站点发送资源指示，以告知站点具体如何使用指示的资源接收接入点发送的下行帧，这样，站点便可以在资源指示所指示的资源位置，按照资源指示所指示的接收下行帧的规则接收接入点发送的下行帧。
类似的，站点在向接入点发送上行帧之前，也需要接收接入点发送的资源指示，从而根据该资源指示获知具体应按照什么规则在什么资源位置向接入点发送上行帧，这样，站点根据该资源指示向接入点发送上行帧，而接入点也根据该资源指示所指示的资源位置，按照该资源指示所指示的接收上行帧的规则接收站点发送的上行帧。
可以看出，无论是接入点与站点进行上行帧的交互，还是接入点与站点进行下行帧的交互时，均需要根据资源指示指示双方收发上行帧和/或下行帧时使用的资源的信息，然而，由于上行帧和/或下行帧的种类很多，尤其是多用户传输方式的引入后为保证多个站点与接入点之间使用指定的资源块进行有效的通信，导致接入点对各个站点进行资源指示的开销急剧增加。
示例性的，如表1所示，以MAC帧为例(当接入点发送MAC帧至站点时，该MAC帧为下行帧，当站点发送MAC帧至接入点时，该MAC帧为上行帧)，可以将MAC帧按照类型标识分为管理帧、控制帧和数据帧，而每一种类型的帧又可以进一步按照子类型标识分为多个子类型帧。

可见，现有技术中，接入点针对多种多样的上行帧和/或下行帧逐个地为站点中的用户/用户组进行资源指示的方法开销十分巨大，因此，本发明的实施例提供的一种资源指示方法及装置，可一定程度解决接入点对各个站点进行资源指示的开销过大的问题，提高了资源指示的传输效率。
实施例一
本发明的实施例提供一种资源指示方法，如图1所示，包括：
100、接入点生成资源映射信息。
其中，该资源映射信息可以为MAP信息，该资源映射信息中包含多个映射段，每个映射段与一帧类型相关联且每个映射段包含多条资源指示，每条资源指示用于指示，在该资源指示所属映射段所 关联的帧类型对应的帧中为一站点分配的资源。
具体的，该MAP信息中包含的多个映射段可以是按照预置顺序排列在MAP信息中的，而站点也会按照该预置顺序读取分别读取该MAP信息中包含的多个映射段，这样，接入点便无需花费额外的开销向站点指示每一个映射段对应的帧类型，示例性的，如表2所示，下行MAP信息中包括BA帧映射段和数据帧映射段，上行MAP信息中包括BA帧映射段、RAR帧映射段和数据帧映射段，其中，每个映射段与一帧类型相关联，且每个映射段包含多条资源指示，例如，BA帧映射段中包含站点标识字段(或站点组标识字段)和传输参数字段，该传输参数字段用于指示资源块位置、LDPC、STBC、BF(Beamforming，波束成形)、MCS以及NSTS中的一项或多项。
表2
Figure PCTCN2015072122-appb-000002
其中，BA帧映射段的内容与多个站点所需接收的BA帧相关联，具体的，BA帧映射段中可以包含多条资源指示，每一条资源指示与一个站点相关联，每条资源指示用于向所关联的站点指示其接收BA帧的资源块位置、LDPC、STBC、BF、MCS以及NSTS中的一项或多项。
示例性的，如表2所示的下行MAP信息中BA帧映射段的具体内容如下：
-BA帧映射段：
需要接收BA帧的站点数目(3比特)
-第一资源指示：
{-资源块的起始指引
-资源块大小
-站点1的标识
-LDPC，STBC，BF，MCS，NSTS}
……
-第N资源指示：
{-资源块的起始指引
-资源块大小
-站点N的标识
-LDPC，STBC，BF，MCS，NSTS}
相应的，数据帧映射段的内容与上述BA帧映射段的内容类似，不同的是，数据帧映射段用于向多个需要接收数据帧的站点进行资源指示，数据帧映射段中同样可包括多条资源指示，其中，每一条资源指示与一个站点相关联，每条资源指示用于向所关联的站点指示其接收数据帧的资源块位置、LDPC、STBC、BF、MCS以及NSTS中的一项或多项。
示例性的，下面是上行MAP信息中数据帧映射段的具体内容：
-数据帧映射段：
需要发送数据帧的站点数目(3比特)
-第一资源指示：
{-SU(单用户)或MU(多用户)传输模式
-资源块的起始指引
-资源块大小
-站点1的标识
-LDPC，STBC，BF，MCS，NSTS}
……
-第N资源指示：
{-SU或MU传输模式
-资源块的起始指引
-资源块大小
-站点N的标识
-LDPC，STBC，BF，MCS，NSTS}
类似的，下行MAP信息中的数据帧映射段与上行MAP信息中的数据帧映射段类似，进一步地，由于站点接收到下行数据帧后可能需要向站点回复BA帧，因此，在下行MAP信息中的数据帧映射 段中还可以包括上行BA帧的BA帧映射段，这样，接入点就无需再次向站点发送上行BA帧的资源指示，示例性的，下面是下行MAP信息中数据帧映射段内包含BA帧映射段的具体内容：
-数据帧映射段(下行)：
{
需要接收数据帧的站点数目(3比特)″
-第一资源指示：
{-SU或MU传输模式
-资源块的起始指引
-资源块大小
-站点1的标识
-LDPC，STBC，BF，MCS，NSTS}
……
-第N资源指示：
{-SU或MU传输模式
-资源块的起始指引
-资源块大小
-站点N的标识
-LDPC，STBC，BF，MCS，NSTS}
BA帧映射段(上行)：
-第一资源指示：
{-资源块的起始指引
-资源块大小
-站点1的标识
-LDPC，STBC，BF，MCS，NSTS}
……
-第N资源指示：
{-资源块的起始指引
-资源块大小
-站点N的标识
-LDPC，STBC，BF，MCS，NSTS}
}
可选的，下面是上行MAP信息中RAR帧映射段的具体内容：
-RAR帧映射段：
需要发送RAR帧的站点个数(3比特)
-第一资源指示：
{-资源块的起始指引
-资源块大小
-站点1的标识
-LDPC，STBC，BF，MCS，NSTS}
……
-第N资源指示：
{-资源块的起始指引
-资源块大小
-站点N的标识
-LDPC，STBC，BF，MCS，NSTS}
需要说明的是，MAP信息中其他类型的上行帧或下行帧(例如ACK帧、BAR帧等)的映射段的具体内容也可参见上述BA帧映射段、数据帧映射段或RAR帧映射段，本发明对此不作任何限定。
进一步地，在MAP信息中的每个映射段内还可以包括该映射段所对应的帧类型信息，例如，帧类型信息为01时指示该字段为BA帧映射段，帧类型信息为11时指示该字段为数据帧映射段。这样一来，生成MAP信息时接入点无需按照预置的帧类型的顺序生成多个映射段，而是通过帧类型信息灵活的指示各个映射段在MAP信息中的位置。
另外，本发明的实施例还提供另一种资源映射信息的生成方法，具体的，在接入点生成的资源映射信息中，接入点不进行映射段的划分，相应的，在该资源映射信息中可以包含多条资源指示，其中， 每条资源指示用于指示在一帧类型对应的帧中为一站点分配的资源。
示例性的，如表3所示，在上述资源映射信息中可灵活的配置各个站点分别对应的各类型帧的资源指示，其中，在每条资源指示中包括该条资源指示所对应的帧类型信息、站点标识字段(或站点组标识字段)和传输参数字段。
表3
Figure PCTCN2015072122-appb-000003
示例性的，如表3所示的资源映射信息的具体内容如下：
-第一资源指示：
{-BA帧类型信息
-资源块的起始指引
-资源块大小
-站点1的标识
-LDPC，STBC，BF，MCS，NSTS}
-第二资源指示：
{-数据帧类型信息
-资源块的起始指引
-资源块大小
-站点1的标识
-LDPC，STBC，BF，MCS，NSTS}
-第三资源指示：
{-BA帧类型信息
-资源块的起始指引
-资源块大小
-站点2的标识
-LDPC，STBC，BF，MCS，NSTS}
-第四资源指示：
{-RAR帧类型信息
-资源块的起始指引
-资源块大小
-站点1的标识
-LDPC，STBC，BF，MCS，NSTS}
至此，接入点生成资源映射信息，该资源映射信息中包含了多个站点或站点组的各类帧的资源指示。
另外，后续实施例二至实施例四中，会具体阐述接入点向站点指示待发送的下行帧的资源时，生成资源映射信息的方法以及接入点向站点指示其待接收的上行帧时，生成资源映射信息的方法，故此处不再赘述。
200、接入点发送资源映射信息。
具体的，在接入点生成资源映射信息之后，接入点可以根据该资源映射信息生成单独的下行帧，并将该下行帧发送至各个站点，以使得各个站点根据该资源映射信息中各个映射段的资源指示确定接入点为其自身分配的资源。
又或者，接入点可以在向各个站点发送的下行数据帧的信令字段或者在其媒体接入控制层中携带该资源映射信息，这样，各个站点在接收下行数据帧的同时接收到该资源映射信息，以减少基站的信令开销。
在执行完步骤100和200之后，第一站点可以执行下述步骤300和400，以确定接入点为其分配的资源，该第一站点可以为上述多个站点中的任一个。
300、第一站点接收来自接入点的资源映射信息。
400、第一站点根据接收到的该资源映射信息确定接入点为其分配的资源。
示例性的，以第一站点接收下行资源映射信息为例，若第一站点在第一映射段的第一资源指示中，读取到第一站点的站点标识，那么，第一站点则根据该第一资源指示中的内容接收接入点发送的 第一类下行帧，例如，第一站点根据该第一资源指示中的内容确定接收第一类下行帧所使用的资源块的起始指引、资源块大小、LDPC、STBC、BF、MCS以及NSTS等传输参数。
其中，该第一类下行帧为第一映射段所对应的帧类型的下行帧，该第一资源指示用于指示接入点向第一站点发送该第一类下行帧时所使用的资源的信息。
至此，接入点为多个站点生成资源映射信息，由于该资源映射信息中包含多个映射段，而且，每个映射段与一帧类型相关联且每个映射段包含多条资源指示，每条资源指示用于指示，在该资源指示所属映射段所关联的帧类型对应的帧中为一站点分配的资源，这样，站点根据接收到的资源映射信息确定接入点为自身分配的具体资源，这样一来，接入点可以同时针对对多个站点，下发多类帧的资源指示，并且，接入点为每一类型的帧确定相应的资源指示，避免了了接入点对每个站点进行资源指示时，由于不区分帧类型而导致的开销过大的问题，提高了资源指示的传输效率。
实施例二
本发明的实施例提供一种资源指示方法，以接入点向站点指示待发送的下行帧的资源为例，如图2所示，所述方法包括：
101、接入点统计待向N个站点发送的第一类下行帧的个数，该第一类下行帧为M类下行帧中的一种，该M类下行帧至少包括应答帧，N＞0，M＞0。
102、接入点根据第一类下行帧的个数确定第一类下行帧的映射段，该映射段用于指示接入点发送第一类下行帧时所使用的资源。
103、重复执行步骤101和102直至接入点获取到与M类下行帧对应的M个映射段后，根据M个映射段生成下行资源映射信息(即下行MAP信息)，该下行MAP信息用于指示接入点发送M类下行帧时分别使用的资源。
104、接入点将下行MAP信息发送至N个站点，并根据下行MAP信息向N个站点发送下行帧，以使得N个站点中的每个站点根据下 行MAP信息接收接入点发送的下行帧。
在步骤101中，接入点统计待向N个站点发送的第一类下行帧的个数，该第一类下行帧为中的一种，该M类下行帧至少包括应答帧，N＞0，M＞0。
其中，M类下行帧的划分方式可以有多种，例如，可以将待向N个站点发送的所有下行帧划分为管理帧、控制帧和数据帧，而该第一类下行帧即为管理帧、控制帧和数据帧中的任一种；又或者，可以将待向N个站点发送的所有下行帧划分为应答帧(例如BA帧、ACK帧等)和数据帧，而该第一类下行帧即为应答帧和数据帧中的任一种。
示例性的，接入点需要向三个站点发送4个下行帧，其中，接入点需要向站点1发送BA帧，需要向站点2发送数据(Data)帧，需要向站点3发送BA帧和data帧，那么，若第一类下行帧为BA帧，接入点则统计需要向3个站点发送的4个下行帧中BA帧的个数为2个。
在步骤102中，当接入点已统计出第一类下行帧的个数，那么，接入点便可根据该第一类下行帧的个数确定第一类下行帧所对应的映射段内的每条资源指示，以第一资源指示为例，该第一资源指示用于指示接入点向第一站点发送第一类下行帧时所使用的资源的信息，该第一站点为N个站点中的任一个。
仍沿用上述步骤101中的例子，若第一类下行帧为BA帧，且BA帧的个数为2个，那么，接入点便可根据BA帧的个数确定BA帧映射段，即为这2个BA帧设计特定的下行MAP信息，以便于后续这三个站点根据该BA帧映射段接收接入点发送的BA帧。
具体的，接入点在生成第一资源指示时，需要确定索取该第一类下行帧的站点(第一站点)的站点标识(PBAID，Partial BA ID)，并确定第一站点接收该第一类下行帧所使用的传输参数，其中，该传输参数至少包括资源块位置、LDPC、STBC、BF、MCS以及NSTS中的一项或多项，这样，接入点就可以针对第一类下行帧生成第一资 源指示，指示接入点发送该第一类下行帧时所使用的资源。
示例性的，仍以第一类下行帧为2个BA帧为例，该BA帧映射段中第一资源指示具体如下：
-BA帧映射段：
需要接收BA帧的站点个数(3比特)
-第一资源指示：
{
-资源块的起始指引(若为连续资源块指示，则为0比特；若为非连续资源块指示，则为4/5/6比特)
-资源块大小(若BA资源块大小固定，则为0比特；若BA资源块大小不固定，则为1比特)
-PBAID(1-3比特)
-LDPC(0/1比特)，STBC(0/1比特)，BF(0/1比特)，MCS(0/1/2/3/4比特)，NSTS(0/1/2/3比特)
}
……
第N资源指示(可参见第一资源指示的具体内容，此处不再赘述)
其中，对于PBAID，若进行BA帧传输的站点数为N，只需要提供log2N比特的索引完成传输BA帧的站点的站点标识。具体地，若有4个站点进行BA帧传输，其中具体包括2个单用户站点，以及包含两个站点的MU用户组，那么，索取该BA帧的4个站点的站点标分别为：单用户STA2(00)，MU用户组第一个用户STA3(01)，MU用户组第二个用户STA4(10)，单用户STA1(11)。可以看出，接入点只需要2比特对索取该BA帧的4个站点进行完成站点标识。
另外，对于资源块位置、LDPC、STBC、BF、MCS以及NSTS这些传输参数，接入点可以使用默认值(例如0比特)进行资源指示，例如，当站点读取BA帧映射段的第一资源指示时，若该第一资源指示中没有明确指示资源块位置、LDPC、STBC、BF、MCS以及NSTS的 值，站点则按照默认的收发下行帧的参数及规则接收接入点发送的下行帧。
而且，以MCS为例，由于现有技术中接入点并不区分待发送的下行帧的类型，因此，对任意类型的下行帧，接入点都会提供4比特的资源指示，而在本发明中，以上述BA帧为例，由于BA帧需要相对鲁棒的传输模式，因此一般需要在较低的MCS下进行传输，所以，接入点在第一资源指示中为站点指示MCS时，可以使用默认值(即0比特)进行指示，例如，接入点和站点之间始终使用MCS＝0进行BA的传输，或者，接入点仅提供1至2比特进行较鲁棒方式的MCS的指示，例如，接入点提供1比特的MCS，那么，站点则可以选择MCS＝0或MCS＝1进行BA的传输。当然，接入点也可以利用BA帧与所需应答的帧(如Data帧)的MCS之间的对应关系，使用0比特默认值进行BA的传输，例如，BA帧传输中的MCSBA＝max(MCSData-2，0)，其中MCSData为Data帧的MCS，max(A，B)为取A和B中较大的值。
可以看出，沿用步骤101和102中的例子，第一类下行帧为BA帧，当接入点使用默认值的传输参数进行资源指示时，接入点生成的第一资源指示可以减少到只有3+3个比特，相比于现有技术中完成对一个单个用户的资源指示需要花费60比特而言，接入点进行资源指示的开销将大大减小。
另外，当第一类下行帧为data(数据)帧时，接入点生成的第一资源指示中还可以携带站点在接收到data帧后所需回复的BA帧的上行资源指示，示例性的，该第一资源指示具体如下：
-数据帧映射段：
需要接收数据帧的站点个数(3比特)
-第一资源指示：
{
Data帧的资源指示：
-SU/MU传输模式
-资源块的起始指引(若为连续资源块指示，则为0比特；若 为非连续资源块指示，则为4/5/6比特)
-资源块大小(4/5/6比特)
-站点ID(1-14比特)
-LDPC(1比特)，STBC(1比特)，BF(1比特)，MCS(4比特)，NSTS(3比特)
……
与Data帧对应的BA帧的资源指示：
-资源块的起始指引(若为连续资源块指示，则为0比特；若为非连续资源块指示，则为4/5/6比特)
-资源块大小(若BA资源块大小固定，则为0比特；若BA资源块大小不固定，则为1比特)
-PBAID(1-3比特)
-LDPC(0/1比特)，STBC(0/1比特)，BF(0/1比特)，MCS(0/1/2/3/4比特)，NSTS(0/1/2/3比特)
}
可以看出，接入点在进行下行data帧的资源指示的同时，还对各个站点需要根据该data帧如何发送BA帧进行了资源指示，这进一步地减少了接入点向站点进行资源指示时的资源开销，并提高了资源指示的效率。
在步骤103中，由于接入点待向N个站点发送的下行帧的类型可能会有M类，而步骤101和102中仅以第一类下行帧为例进行说明，因此，接入点可重复执行步骤101和102，直至接入点获取到与M类下行帧一一对应的M个映射段。
需要说明的是，接入点重复执行步骤101和102时，可以先重复执行步骤101分别统计待向N个站点发送的M类下行帧的个数，再重复执行步骤102分别确定与M类下行帧一一对应的M个映射段；或者，接入点可以循环执行步骤101和102，直至接入点获取到与M 类下行帧一一对应的M个映射段，本发明对此不作限制。
当接入点获取到与M类下行帧的M个映射段后，接入点可以根据该M个映射段生成下行MAP信息，该下行MAP信息用于指示接入点发送M类下行帧时分别使用的资源的信息。
可选的，如表4所示，接入点可以按照预置的M个映射段在下行MAP信息中的顺序，将获取到的M个映射段组合为下行MAP信息，这样，该下行MAP信息信息中便包含有N个站点中每一个站点的M个映射段，而每一个站点便可以同样按照预置的M个映射段在下行MAP信息中的顺序读取该下行MAP信息。另外，需要说明的是，这M个映射段中可能会出现某一类或几类资源指示为空的情况。
表4
第一映射段 …… 第M映射段
又或者，如表5所示，接入点可以分别确定待向N个站点发送的K(K≤M)个映射段的帧类型信息，其中，这K个映射段为M个映射段中不为空的信息，那么，接入点便可根据K个映射段的帧类型信息和这K个映射段生成表5所示的下行MAP信息，这样一来，接入点和站点都无需按照预置的M类下行帧的资源指示顺序发送或读取下行MAP信息，而接入点可以灵活的配置K个映射段的指示顺序，站点便可根据每一类下行帧的帧类型信息读取相应的映射段。
表5
Figure PCTCN2015072122-appb-000004
又或者，如表6所示，接入点可以分别为N个站点中的每一个站点(组)所需接收的J(J≤M)类下行帧进行灵活的资源指示，在为每个站点或者站点组进行资源指示之前，需要首先对其每一类下行帧的帧类型进行指示，假设有NSU个单用户站点，NMU个多用户站点组，且第i个单用户站点传输MSU，i类帧，第j个多用户站点组传输MMU，j类帧，则总共的资源指示数目NMAP为：
Figure PCTCN2015072122-appb-000005
这样一来，接入点便可生成针对每一个站点的共NMAP个资源指示，进而，接入点个根据这NMAP个资源指示和每个资源指示对应的帧类型信息，生成表6所示的下行MAP信息，其中，各个站点的各类资源指示的位置和顺序是不固定的，共NMAP个资源指示。
表6
Figure PCTCN2015072122-appb-000006
另外，针对下行MAP信息，接入点也可以将需要发送给多个站点的若干个BA帧内的信息捆绑在一起，称作M-BA(Multiple user BA)帧，接入点可以对多个需要接收BA帧的站点进行M-BA帧的广播并利用M-BA MAP信息进行M-BA帧的资源指示，如表7所示，为包含M-BA MAP信息的下行MAP信息，此处的M-BA MAP信息可作为表4或表5中第一映射段在M-BA帧场景下的一种特例。
表7
M-BA MAP信息 …… 第K映射段
其中，对于M-BA信息，由于其包含多个站点待接收的若干个BA帧内的信息，因此在进行M-BA的资源指示时，不需要指示站点的标识信息(对于每个用户的标识信息存在于接入点发送的M-BA帧的字段之内)。示例性的，以下是M-BA MAP信息的具体内容：
-是否存在M-BA帧(1比特)；或需要接收M-BA帧的站点数(3比特)
第一资源指示：
{
-资源块的起始指引(若为连续资源块指示，则为0比特；若为非连续资源块指示，则为4/5/6比特)
-资源块大小(若M-BA帧的资源块大小与站点的数量绑定， 则为0比特；或者，可采取相对灵活的大小进行指示，如4/5/6比特)
-LDPC(0/1比特)，STBC(0/1比特)，BF(0/1比特)，MCS(0/1/2/3/4比特)，NSTS(0/1/2/3比特)
}
至此，接入点根据M个映射段生成下行MAP信息，该下行MAP信息用于指示接入点发送M类下行帧时分别使用的资源的信息。
在步骤104中，接入点将步骤103中生成的下行MAP信息发送至N个站点，并根据下行MAP信息向N个站点发送M类下行帧，以使得N个站点中的每个站点根据下行MAP信息接收接入点发送的M类下行帧。
示例性的，若下行MAP信息如表4所示，接入点将该下行MAP信息发送至N个站点，并且，接入点根据该下行MAP信息向N个站点发送M类下行帧，相应的，N个站点中的每个站点都会按照预置的M类下行帧在下行MAP信息中的顺序读取该下行MAP信息，即首先读取第一映射段中的第一资源指示(假设第一资源指示为第一站点接收BA帧的资源指示)，那么，由于第一资源指示中包含有第一站点的标识，因此，当第一站点读取到第一资源指示后，便可以根据第一资源指示中的传输参数接收接入点发送的BA帧，在依次读取其余M-1个映射段中的多条资源指示，并根据相应的资源指示接收接入点发送的不同类型的下行帧。
可选的，接入点在向N个站点发送下行MAP信息，或接入点根据下行MAP信息向N个站点发送M类下行帧时，可采用OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access，正交频分多址接入)或者MU-MIMO(Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output，多用户多输入多输出)的方式进行传输，本发明对此不作限制。
本发明的实施例提供一种资源指示方法，以接入点向站点指示待接收的上行帧的资源为例，如图3所示，所述方法包括：
201、接入点统计N个站点需要发送的第一类上行帧的个数，该第一类上行帧为M类上行帧中的一种，该M类上行帧至少包括应答帧和/或索取帧，索取帧为接入点向N个站点中的至少一个站点索要索取信息的上行帧，N＞0，M＞0。
202、接入点根据第一类上行帧的个数确定第一类下行帧的映射段，该映射段用于指示N个站点发送第一类上行帧所使用的资源。
203、重复执行步骤201和202直至接入点获取到与M类上行帧对应的M个映射段后，根据M个映射段生成资源映射信息(即上行映射MAP信息)，该上行MAP信息用于指示N个站点发送M类上行帧所分别使用的资源。
204、接入点将上行MAP信息发送至N个站点，以使得N个站点中的每个站点根据上行MAP信息向接入点发送上行帧。
在步骤201中，与步骤101类似的，接入点统计N个站点需要发送的第一类上行帧的个数，该第一类上行帧为M类上行帧中的一种，该M类上行帧至少包括应答帧和/或索取帧，其中，该索取帧为接入点向N个站点中的至少一个站点索要索取信息的上行帧，N＞0，M＞0。
与步骤101不同的是，步骤201中的M类上行帧是指接入点等待接收的N个站点发送的不同类型的上行帧，M类上行帧的划分方法可参考步骤101，故此处不再赘述。
另外，该M类上行帧除了包括应答帧以外，还可以包括索取帧，其中，该索取帧为接入点向N个站点中的至少一个站点索要索取信息的上行帧，例如RAR(Resource Allocation Request，资源分配请求)帧，BAR(Block Acknowledge Request，块确认请求)帧等等。
在步骤202中，当接入点已统计出第一类上行帧的个数，那么，接入点便可根据该第一类上行帧的个数确定第一类上行帧所对应的映射段内的多条资源指示，以第一资源指示为例，该第一资源指示用于指示第一站点向接入点发送第一类上行帧所使用的资源。
与步骤102类似的，接入点在生成第一资源指示时，需要确定发送该第一类上行帧的站点(第一站点)的站点标识，并确定第一站点发送该第一类上行帧所使用的传输参数，其中，该传输参数至少包括资源块位置、LDPC、STBC、BF、MCS以及NSTS中的一项或多项，这样，接入点就可以针对第一类上行帧生成多条资源指示，这多条资源指示组成了第一类上行帧所对应的映射段。
示例性的，以第一类上行帧为RAR帧为例，该RAR帧射段中的第一资源指示具体如下：
-RAR帧射段：
需要发送RAR帧的站点个数(3比特)
-第一资源指示：
{
-资源块的起始指引(若为连续资源块指示，则为0比特；若为非连续资源块指示，则为4/5/6比特)
-资源块大小(若RAR资源块大小固定，则为0比特；若RAR资源块大小不固定，则为1比特)
-站点标识(小于等于14比特)
-LDPC(0/1比特)，STBC(0/1比特)，BF(0/1比特)，MCS(0/1/2/3/4比特)，NSTS(0/1/2/3比特)
}
……
-第N资源指示(可参见第一资源指示的具体内容，此处不再赘述)
同样的，对于资源块位置、LDPC、STBC、BF、MCS以及NSTS这些传输参数，接入点可以使用默认值(0比特)进行资源指示，例如，当站点读取RAR帧的第一资源指示时，如果该第一资源指示中没有明确指示LDPC、STBC、BF、MCS以及NSTS的值，站点则按照默认的发送上行帧的规则进行上行帧的发送。
可以看出，接入点通过生成RAR帧映射段，向站点进行隐式的 RAR帧轮询，若站点读取到针对RAR帧的第一资源指示，则可进一步根据该第一资源指示所指示的传输参数发送索取信息。
此外，同时针对RAR帧的映射段，可以对于站点标识进行通配符的设计，例如全部为0，此时站点标识不代表某一特定站点，而是允许全部或一组站点通过竞争的方式进行传输。例如，接入点向站点指示一段区间，如[5，10]，而所有的站点在接收到该指示之后，进行随机数的生成，当站点生成的随机数落在该区间内时，该站点则可以在RAR帧的映射段中站点标识为全0的资源块中任选一个进行RAR帧的发送。
在步骤203中，与步骤103类似的，由于N个站点待向接入点发送的上行帧的类型可能会有M类，而步骤201和202中仅以第一类上行帧为例进行说明，因此，接入点可重复执行步骤101和102，直至接入点获取到与M类上行帧对应的M个映射段。
具体的，参见表4、表5和表6，接入点获取到与M类上行帧一一对应的M个映射段的方法与步骤103类似，与步骤103不同的是，本实施例中的M个映射段可能会包括索取帧的映射段。
另外，从步骤101至103以及步骤201至203中可以看出，接入点在生成每一类下(上)行帧的映射段时，都需花费3比特指示站点个数，当下(上)行帧的种类较多时(即M值较大时)，会造成很大的开销，对此，接入点可以使用bitmap(位图)算法统计待向N个站点发送的每一类下(上)行帧的个数并向N个站点进行站点个数的指示，这样，接入点便无需再每一类下(上)行帧的资源指示时，都花费3比特指示站点个数。
示例性的，若最大调度站点数为8，共需站点发送3种类型的上行帧，分别是BA帧，RAR帧及Data帧，接入点则可采取从1到0或从0到1的转变来表示帧类型的改变，例如向8个站点指示需发送上行帧的站点数为：11101111，其中，前三位111指示发送BA帧的站点为3个，第四位0指示发送RAR帧的站点为1个，后四位1111指示发送Data帧的站点为4个。
又或者，接入点则可以使用0表示帧类型的改变，而使用1表示站点的个数，例如，例如向8个站点指示需发送上行帧的站点数为：1110101111，其中，前三位111指示发送BA帧的站点为3个，第四位0指示帧类型发生改变，第五位1指示发送RAR帧的站点为1个，第六位0指示帧类型发生改变，而后四位1111指示发送Data帧的站点为4个。
在步骤204中，接入点将步骤203中生成的上行MAP信息发送至N个站点，以使得N个站点中的每个站点根据上行MAP信息向接入点发送M类上行帧，并且，接入点页按照该上行MAP信息所指示的传输参数接收N个站点发送的M类上行帧，以保证接入点正确接收该M类上行帧。
同样的，接入点在向N个站点发送上行MAP信息，或站点根据上行MAP信息向接入点发送M类上行帧时，可采用OFDMA或者MU-MIMO的方式进行传输，本发明对此不作限制。
本发明的实施例提供一种资源指示方法，以第一站点根据接入点发送的MAP信息接收下行帧为例，如图4所示，所述方法包括：
301、第一站点接收接入点发送的下行MAP信息，该下行MAP信息用于指示接入点发送M类下行帧时分别使用的资源，该M类下行帧至少包括应答帧，N＞0，M＞0。
302、若第一站点读取到第一映射段中含有第一站点的标识的资源指示，则根据该资源指示接收接入点发送的第一类下行帧，其中，该第一类下行帧为M类下行帧中的一个，该资源指示用于指示接入点向第一站点发送第一类下行帧时所使用的资源。
在步骤301中，第一站点接收如步骤104中接入点发送的下行MAP信息，该下行MAP信息用于指示接入点发送M类下行帧时分别使用的资源的信息，该M类下行帧至少包括应答帧，N＞0，M＞0。
在步骤302中，第一站点接收到接入点发送的下行MAP信息之后，若读取到下行MAP信息中第一映射段中含有第一站点的标识，例如第一资源指示中含有第一站点的标识，第一站点则根据第一资 源指示接收接入点发送的第一类下行帧。
示例性的，若该下行MAP信息如表4所示，由于下行MAP信息中各个映射段的顺序是预置的，设第一映射段中包含BA帧的资源指示，因此，第一站点读取第一资源指示，若发现第一资源指示中含有第一站点的标识，那么，第一站点则根据第一资源指示所指示的传输参数接收接入点发送的BA帧。
或者，若该下行MAP信息如表5所示，由于下行MAP信息中含有各个映射段的帧类型信息，因此，第一站点首先读取第一映射段的帧类型信息(设该帧类型信息为BA帧类型)，进而，若第一站点发现第一映射段中第一资源指示中含有第一站点的标识，那么，第一站点则根据第一资源指示所指示的传输参数接收接入点发送的BA帧。
至此，第一站点通过读取下行MAP信息中的M个映射段，去接收接入点发送的各类下行帧。
本发明的实施例提供一种资源指示方法，以第一站点根据接入点发送的MAP信息发送上行帧为例，如图5所示，所述方法包括：
401、第一站点接收接入点发送的上行MAP信息，该上行MAP信息用于指示N个站点发送M类上行帧所使用的资源，该M类上行帧至少包括应答帧和/或索取帧，N＞0，M＞0。
402、若第一站点读取到第一映射段中包含第一站点的标识的资源指示，则根据该资源指示向接入点发送第一类上行帧，其中，该第一类上行帧为M类上行帧中的一个，该资源指示用于指示第一站点发送第一类上行帧所使用的资源。
在步骤401中，第一站点接收如步骤204中接入点发送的上行MAP信息，该上行MAP信息用于指示N个站点发送M类上行帧所使用的资源的信息，该M类上行帧至少包括应答帧和/或索取帧，N＞0，M＞0。
在步骤402中，与步骤302类似的，第一站点接收到接入点发送的上行MAP信息之后，若读取到上行MAP信息中第一映射段的某 个资源指示中含有第一站点的标识，第一站点则根据该资源指示向接入点发送第一类下行帧。
与步骤302类似的，该上行MAP信息如表4、表5或表6所示，第一站点根据第一资源指示向接入点发送第一类下行帧可参见步骤302，故此处不再赘述。
与步骤302不同的是，若第一资源指示为索取帧的资源指示，第一站点则根据第一资源指示向接入点发送索取帧的索取信息，其中，所述索取帧至少包括RAR帧和/或BAR帧，该第一资源指示中包含有第一站点的标识。
示例性的，若上述索取帧为RAR帧，第一站点则根据第一资源指示向接入点发送第一站点的缓存数据和/或缓存信息，其中，该缓存信息用于指示该缓存数据的属性信息，例如该缓存数据的大小、位置等信息。
至此，第一站点通过读取上行MAP信息中的M个映射段，向接入点发送各类上行帧。
本发明的实施例提供一种资源指示方法，接入点生成多个站点的资源映射信息，由于该资源映射信息中包含多个映射段，其中，每个映射段与一帧类型相关联且每个映射段包含多条资源指示，而每条资源指示用于指示，在该资源指示所属映射段所关联的帧类型对应的帧中为一站点分配的资源，这样，接入点便可以同时针对对多个站点，下发多类帧的资源指示，并且，接入点为每一类型的帧确定相应的资源指示，避免了了接入点对每个站点进行资源指示时，由于不区分帧类型而导致的开销过大的问题，提高了资源指示的传输效率。
实施例三
本发明的实施例提供一种资源指示方法，如图6所示，所述方法包括：
501、接入点统计待向N个站点发送的第一类下行帧的个数，该第一类下行帧为M类下行帧中的一种，该M类下行帧至少包括应答 帧，N＞0，M＞0。
502、接入点根据第一类下行帧的个数确定第一类下行帧的映射段，该映射段用于指示接入点发送第一类下行帧时所使用的资源的信息。
503、重复执行步骤501和502直至接入点获取到与M类下行帧对应的M个映射段后，根据M个映射段生成下行MAP信息，该下行MAP信息用于指示接入点发送M类下行帧时分别使用的资源的信息。
504、接入点将下行MAP信息发送至N个站点，并根据下行MAP信息向N个站点发送下行帧。
505、第一站点接收接入点发送的下行MAP信息，该第一站点为N个站点中的任一个。
506、若第一站点读取到下行MAP信息中第一映射段的第一资源指示内包含有第一站点的标识，则根据第一资源指示接收接入点发送的第一类下行帧。
在步骤501中，接入点统计待向N个站点发送的第一类下行帧的个数，该第一类下行帧为中的一种，该M类下行帧至少包括应答帧，N＞0，M＞0。
具体的，M类下行帧的划分方式可参见步骤101，此处不再详述，示例性的，本发明的实施例以接入点需要向3个站点发送4个下行帧为例进行详细说明。
其中，接入点需要向站点1发送BA帧，需要向站点2发送Data帧，需要向站点3发送BA帧和data帧，那么，若第一类下行帧为BA帧，接入点则统计需要向3个站点发送的4个下行帧中BA帧的个数为2个；若第一类下行帧为data帧，接入点则统计需要向3个站点发送的4个下行帧中data帧的个数为2个。
在步骤502中，当接入点已统计出第一类下行帧的个数，那么，接入点便可根据该第一类下行帧的个数确定第一类下行帧所对应的映射段内的多条资源指示，以第一资源指示为例，该第一资源指示用于指示接入点向第一站点发送第一类下行帧时所使用的资源。
仍沿用上述步骤501中的例子，若第一类下行帧为BA帧，且BA帧的个数为2个，那么，接入点便可根据BA帧的个数确定BA映射段，即为这2个BA帧设计特定的下行MAP信息，以便于后续站点根据该BA映射段接收接入点发送的BA帧。
具体的，接入点在生成BA映射段内的第一资源指示时，需要确定索取该第一类下行帧的站点(第一站点)的站点标识，并确定第一站点接收该第一类下行帧所使用的传输参数，其中，该传输参数至少包括资源块位置、LDPC、STBC、BF、MCS以及NSTS中的一项或多项，这样，接入点就可以针对第一类下行帧生成第一资源指示，指示接入点发送该第一类下行帧时所使用的资源的信息。
示例性的，沿用步骤501至502中的例子，以第一类下行帧为2个BA帧为例，其PBAID为1(log22＝1)比特，若传输这2个BA帧的资源块大小固定且为连续资源，传输BA帧时都使用默认值(即LDPC、STBC、BF、MCS以及NSTS都为0比特)，那么，该BA映射段具体如下：
-BA映射段：
需要接收BA帧的站点个数(3比特)
-第一资源指示：
站点1：
-PBAID(1比特)
-第二资源指示：
站点3：
-PBAID(1比特)
}
可以看出，以第一类下行帧为BA帧为例，接入点生成的映射段的开销仅有3+NBA*1＝3+2*1＝5比特(NBA为需要接收BA帧的站点个数)，相比于现有技术中完成对一个单个用户的资源指示需要花费60比特而言，接入点进行资源指示的开销将大大减小。
又或者，以第一类下行帧为2个BA帧为例，其PBAID为1比特， 若传输这2个BA帧的资源块大小固定且为连续资源，传输2个BA帧时NSTS均限制为1至4个时空流，即NSTS采用2(log24＝2)个比特进行资源指示，而其他传输参数都使用默认值(即LDPC、STBC、BF和MCS都为0比特)，那么，该BA映射段具体如下：
-BA映射段：
需要接收BA帧的站点个数(3比特)
-第一资源指示：
站点1：
-PBAID(1比特)
-NSTS(2比特)
-第二资源指示
站点3：
-PBAID(1比特)
-NSTS(2比特)
以上仅是示例性的说明BA映射段具体内容，应当理解的是，不同映射段的具体内容可以根据接入点和站点的预置规则做相应改变，而本发明实施例对此不作任何限制。
在步骤503中，由于接入点待向N个站点发送的下行帧的类型可能会有M类，因此，接入点可重复执行步骤501和502，直至接入点获取到与M类下行帧一一对应的M个映射段。
仍沿用上述步骤501和502中的例子，接入点分别统计3个站点待接收的BA帧和data帧的个数，并分别生成BA帧的第一映射段及data帧的第二映射段，此时，接入点可以根据预置的各个映射段的顺序，将这两个映射段生成如表8所示的下行MAP信息，该下行MAP信息用于指示接入点发送这两类下行帧时分别使用的资源的信息。
表8
(BA帧)第一映射段 (data帧)第二映射段
当然，接入点根据这多个资源指示生成下行MAP信息的方法有 多种，具体可参见实施例一中步骤103，此处不再赘述。
在步骤504中，接入点将步骤503中生成的下行MAP信息发送至N个站点，并根据下行MAP信息向N个站点发送多个下行帧，以使得N个站点中的每个站点根据下行MAP信息接收接入点发送的多个下行帧。
在步骤505中，第一站点接收步骤504中接入点发送的下行MAP信息，其中，该第一站点为N个站点中的任一个。
在步骤506中，第一站点接收到接入点发送的下行MAP信息之后，若读取到下行MAP信息中第一映射段的第一资源指示内含有第一站点的标识，第一站点则根据第一资源指示接收接入点发送的第一类下行帧。
示例性的，仍沿用上述步骤501至505中的例子，若该下行MAP信息如表8所示，由于下行MAP信息中各个映射段的顺序是预置的，因此，第一站点首先读取第一映射段中的第一资源指示，若发现第一资源指示中含有第一站点的标识，那么，第一站点则根据第一资源指示所指示的传输参数接收接入点发送的BA帧；若第一站点读取到第二映射段中的第二资源指示中含有第一站点的标识，那么，第一站点则根据第二资源指示所指示的传输参数接收接入点发送的Data帧。
至此，第一站点根据接入点发送的下行MAP信息，获取到BA帧和data帧共两个映射段，并根据这两个映射段分别接收接入点发送的BA帧和data帧，类似的，N个站点中的每一个站点都可以使用上述方法接收接入点发送的下行MAP信息，并根据下行MAP信息接收接入点发送的下行帧。
本发明的实施例提供一种资源指示方法，接入点生成多个站点的资源映射信息，由于该资源映射信息中包含多个映射段，其中，每个映射段与一帧类型相关联且每个映射段包含多条资源指示，而每条资源指示用于指示，在该资源指示所属映射段所关联的帧类型对应的帧中为一站点分配的资源，这样，接入点便可以同时针对对 多个站点，下发多类帧的资源指示，并且，接入点为每一类型的帧确定相应的资源指示，避免了了接入点对每个站点进行资源指示时，由于不区分帧类型而导致的开销过大的问题，提高了资源指示的传输效率。
实施例四
本发明的实施例提供一种资源指示方法，如图7所示，所述方法包括：
601、接入点统计N个站点需要发送的第一类上行帧的个数，该第一类上行帧为M类上行帧中的一种，该M类上行帧至少包括应答帧和/或索取帧，N＞0，M＞0。
602、接入点根据第一类上行帧的个数确定确定第一类下行帧的映射段，该映射段用于指示N个站点发送第一类上行帧所使用的资源的信息。
603、重复执行步骤601和602直至接入点获取到与M类上行帧对应的M个映射段后，根据M个映射段生成上行MAP信息，该上行MAP信息用于指示N个站点发送上行帧时分别使用的资源。
604、接入点将上行MAP信息发送至N个站点，以使得N个站点中的每个站点根据上行MAP信息向接入点发送上行帧。
605、第一站点接收接入点发送的上行MAP信息，该第一站点为N个站点中的任一个。
606、若第一站点读取到上行MAP信息中第一映射段的第一资源指示中含有第一站点的标识，则根据第一资源指示向接入点发送第一类上行帧。
607、接入点根据该上行MAP信息接收第一站点发送的第一类上行帧。
在步骤601中，与步骤501类似的，接入点统计N个站点需要发送的第一类上行帧的个数，该第一类上行帧为M类上行帧中的一种，该M类上行帧至少包括应答帧和/或索取帧，其中，索取帧为接入点向N个站点中的至少一个站点索要索取信息的上行帧，N＞0，M ＞0。
与步骤501不同的是，步骤601中的M类上行帧是指接入点等待接收N个站点发送的不同类型的上行帧，另外，该M类上行帧除了包括应答帧以外，还可以包括索取帧，其中，索取帧为接入点向N个站点中的至少一个站点索要索取信息的上行帧，例如RAR帧，BAR帧等。
在步骤602中，当接入点已统计出第一类上行帧的个数，那么，接入点便可根据该第一类上行帧的个数确定第一类上行帧所对应的映射段内的多条资源指示，以第一资源指示为例，该第一资源指示用于指示第一站点向接入点发送第一类上行帧所使用的资源。
与步骤502类似的，接入点在生成第一资源指示时，需要确定发送该第一类上行帧的第一站点的站点标识，并确定第一站点发送该第一类上行帧所使用的传输参数，其中，该传输参数至少包括资源块位置、LDPC、STBC、BF、MCS以及NSTS中的一项或多项。
示例性的，设接入点等待接收站点1发送的BA帧和RAR帧，接入点等待接收站点2发送的BA帧，接入点等待接收站点3发送的RAR帧，同时，设这3个站点向接入点发送上行帧时均使用默认的传输参数进行上传输，因此，若第一类上行帧为BA帧，则第一类上行帧的个数为2个，若第二类上行帧为RAR帧，则第一类上行帧的个数也为2个。
那么，该RAR帧映射段的具体内容如下：
-RAR帧映射段
需要发送RAR帧映射段的站点个数(3比特)
-第一资源指示
站点1：
-站点标识(小于等于14比特)
-第二资源指示：
站点3：
-站点标识(小于等于14比特)
可以看出，接入点通过生成RAR帧映射段，向站点进行隐式的RAR帧轮询，若相应站点读取到针对RAR帧的资源指示，则可进一步根据该资源指示所指示的传输参数发送索取信息。类似的，BA帧的映射段可参考上述RAR帧的映射段，故此处不再赘述。
在步骤603中，与步骤503类似的，由于N个站点待向接入点发送的上行帧的类型可能会有M类，因此，接入点可重复执行步骤601和602，直至接入点获取到与M类上行帧一一对应的M个映射段。
仍沿用上述步骤602中的例子，接入点分别统计3个站点待发送的RAR帧和BA帧的个数，并分别生成RAR帧和BA帧的映射段，此时，接入点可以根据每一类上行帧的帧类型信息(例如，设0代表RAR帧，1代表BA帧)，将这2个映射段生成如表9所示的上行MAP信息，该上行MAP信息用于指示接入点发送这2类上行帧时分别使用的资源。
表9
0(RAR帧类型) 第一映射段 1(BA帧类型) 第二映射段
在步骤604中，接入点将步骤603中生成的上行MAP信息发送至N个站点，以使得N个站点中的每个站点根据该上行MAP信息向接入点发送上行帧。
在步骤605中，第一站点接收步骤604中接入点发送的上行MAP信息，其中，该第一站点为N个站点中的任一个。
在步骤606中，第一站点接收到接入点发送的上行MAP信息之后，若读取到上行MAP信息中第一映射段的第一资源指示含有第一站点的标识，第一站点则根据第一资源指示发送第一类下行帧至接入点。
示例性的，仍沿用上述步骤601至605中的例子，该上行MAP信息如表9所示，第一站点首先读取第一映射段的帧类型信息，确定该帧类型为RAR帧，进而读取RAR帧的第一映射段，若第一映射段中的第一资源指示中包含有第一站点的标识，第一站点则根据第一资源指示中的传输参数向接入点发送其缓存数据(即索取信息)； 进一步地，第一站点读取帧类型信息确定第二映射段的帧类型为BAR帧，那么，若第二映射段的第二资源指示中包含有第一站点的标识，第一站点则根据第二资源指示中的传输参数向接入点发送BA帧。
需要说明的是，BA帧按照发送的时刻不同可分为立即BA帧和延迟BA帧，而在上行MAP信息中可能即包括BA帧的资源指示，又包括BAR帧的资源指示，站点在接收到这2类资源指示后，都会向接入点发送BA帧，不同的是，BA帧的资源指示中向站点索取的是立即BA帧，即数据帧发送完之后马上索取BA帧；而BAR帧向站点索取的是延迟BA帧，即数据帧发送完后暂时不索取，等到一段时间过后，接入点通过BAR帧的资源指示向站点统一索取BA帧。
进一步地，若第一站点读取到上行MAP信息中索取帧的资源指示，则根据索取帧的具体类型向接入点发送索取信息，例如，若索取帧为BAR帧，那么，第一站点则根据BAR帧的资源指示向接入点发送BA帧(即延迟BA帧)，又或者，若索取帧为RAR帧，那么，第一站点则根据RAR帧的资源指示向接入点发送缓存数据，或者发送第一站点的缓存信息，例如，该缓存信息用于指示缓存数据的大小等属性，当然，第一站点也根据RAR帧的资源指示向接入点同时发送缓存数据和缓存信息，本发明对此并不作限制。
在步骤607中，与步骤606相应的，接入点在发送上行MAP信息后，根据该上行MAP信息中M个映射段中每条资源指示所指示的传输参数，接收第一站点发送的各类上行帧。
至此，第一站点根据接入点发送的上行MAP信息，获取到BA帧和RAR帧共两个映射段，并根据这两个映射段分别向接入点发送BA帧和缓存数据，而接入点根据同样根据该上行MAP信息中的个映射段接收第一站点发送的BA帧和缓存数据，类似的，N个站点中的每一个站点都可以使用上述方法接收接入点发送的上行MAP信息，并根据上行MAP信息向接入点发送M类上行帧。
本发明的实施例提供一种资源指示方法，接入点生成多个站点的资源映射信息，由于该资源映射信息中包含多个映射段，其中， 每个映射段与一帧类型相关联且每个映射段包含多条资源指示，而每条资源指示用于指示，在该资源指示所属映射段所关联的帧类型对应的帧中为一站点分配的资源，这样，接入点便可以同时针对对多个站点，下发多类帧的资源指示，并且，接入点为每一类型的帧确定相应的资源指示，避免了了接入点对每个站点进行资源指示时，由于不区分帧类型而导致的开销过大的问题，提高了资源指示的传输效率。
