COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

This application provides a communication method and apparatus, and relates to the communication field. The method includes: generating a physical layer protocol data unit PPDU, where the PPDU includes a first field indicating that the PPDU is an extremely high throughput sounding null data packet EHT sounding NDP transmitted based on orthogonal frequency division multiple access OFDMA, the PPDU further includes an extremely high throughput-long training field EHT-LTF and a packet extension PE field, and the PE field is adjacent to the EHT-LTF; and sending the PPDU. In this way, a Bfee may determine, based on the first field in the PPDU, that the PPDU is the EHT sounding NDP transmitted based on OFDMA, perform channel estimation by using the PPDU, and feed back channel state information to a Bfer, to implement functions such as beamforming and resource scheduling for OFDMA transmission, thereby improving channel quality and a throughput.
