Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a channel measurement method and a STA to ensure that a sub-channel on which channel measurement is performed is idle, thereby preventing, to some extent, transmission in an OBSS from being affected by UL channel measurement. The method includes: receiving, by a station STA, a measurement notification message sent by an access point AP, where the measurement notification message carries identifier information of a channel that needs to be measured; and sending, by the STA, a sounding reference signal by using M idle sub-channels, so that the AP measures the M idle sub-channels according to the received sounding reference signal, where the M idle sub-channels are M idle sub-channels determined by the STA from at least one sub-channel included in a channel indicated in the identifier information of the channel that needs to be measured, and M is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

Claim (Index 8):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the measurement notification message indicates that N STAs need to perform channel measurement, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1; and\n the measurement notification message carries one LTF quantity indication field, which is used to indicate a quantity of LTF fields comprised in the sounding reference signal sent by the STA that needs to perform channel measurement; or the measurement notification message carries N LTF quantity indication fields, wherein the N LTF quantity indication fields are separately used to indicate quantities of LTF fields comprised in sounding reference signal frames sent by the STAs corresponding to the LTF quantity indication fields.
