Resource distribution methods, access point and relay access points

The invention discloses resource distribution methods, an access point and relay access points. The method applied to an access point side includes the following steps: a continuous time area used for sending relay system information is allocated for the relay access points associated with the access point; and the relay access points associated with the access point are notified through sending of a wireless frame. The method applied to a replay access point side includes the following steps: a wireless frame sent by an associated access point is received, wherein the wireless frame carries information of the continuous time area which is allocated to the relay access points by the access point and used for sending the relay system information; and according to the information of the continuous time area, carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) or carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) is adopted in a corresponding continuous time area to send the wireless frame which carries the relay system information. After the resource distribution methods, the access point and the relay access points are adopted, it is convenient for a station to monitor corresponding system information so that power-saving demands of the station are further met.
