Abstract:
Example methods, apparatuses, and systems for transmitting data in a wireless local area network mesh network are described herein. One example method includes receiving, by a first mesh station, a first data frame sent by a second mesh station, where a transmitter address of the first data frame is a MAC address of the second mesh station, and wherein the first and second mesh stations belong to different mesh gates. The first mesh station determines that the first data frame is one of a broadcast data frame, a multicast data frame, or an unknown unicast data frame and, further, that the first mesh station and the second mesh station belong to different mesh gates. In response to these determinations, the first data frame is discarded. The examples methods can be applied to a wireless mesh network including multiple mesh gates.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for transmitting data in a wireless local area network mesh network, wherein the method comprises:\n receiving, by a first mesh station, a first data frame sent by a second mesh station, wherein a transmitter address of the first data frame is a media access control (MAC) address of the second mesh station, wherein the first mesh station belongs to a first mesh gate, and wherein the second mesh station belongs to a second mesh gate; and determining, by the first mesh station, that the first data frame is a broadcast data frame, a multicast data frame, or an unknown unicast data frame; determining, by the first mesh station according to the MAC address of the second mesh station, that the first mesh station and the second mesh station belong to different mesh gates; and in response to determining that the first data frame is a broadcast data frame, a multicast data frame, or an unknown unicast data frame and that the first mesh station and the second mesh station belong to different mesh gates, discarding, by the first mesh station, the first data frame.
