1. A method, comprising:
generating a physical-layer protocol data unit (PPDU), wherein the PPDU comprises resource allocation information comprised in a signal field of the PPDU, and the resource allocation information indicates resource allocations based on a channel bitmap in a beacon frame, wherein at least one punctured channel is indicated by the channel bitmap in the beacon frame, and the resource allocation information comprises a preset value that indicates a null 242-tone resource unit (RU) corresponding to the at least one punctured channel, and wherein the channel bitmap comprises a first value indicating that transmission is able to be performed on a corresponding 20 MHz channel or a second value indicating that transmission is not able to be performed on a corresponding 20 MHz channel; and
sending the PPDU and the beacon frame.
