1. A wireless communication method, comprising: receiving, by a communication device jointly with an other communication device, a first frame from a first network device indicating a joint transmission to be performed by multiple access points, wherein the first frame includes a scheduling information for a secondary access point to perform the joint transmission and an indicator directing the communication device to forward the scheduling information;
generating, by the communication device jointly with the other communication device, respective second frames where each second frame is a partial or complete copy of the first frame; and
transmitting, by the communication device jointly with the other communication device, the second frames to a second network device, wherein the second frames include the scheduling information for the secondary access point to perform the joint transmission in response to detecting at least one of the second frames.
