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 21):
The STA according to  claim 20 , wherein the processor is further configured to:\n perform clear channel assessment CCA on each sub-channel supported by both the AP and the STA, and determine a sub-channel whose CCA result is idle as an available sub-channel; and determine M sub-channels that are in the channel indicated in the identifier information and that are the same as the available sub-channel as the M idle sub-channels.
