The present invention discloses a method for transmitting data on a wireless local area network (WLAN), user equipment (UE), and an access point (AP). The method includes: receiving first indication information sent by an AP, where the first indication information is used to indicate that UE can preferentially send data to the AP when the UE obtains a transmission resource through contention; determining, according to the first indication information, a first moment for sending current data to the AP, where an interval between a second moment at which the UE receives a first feedback message sent by the AP and the first moment is a first sending interval, the first feedback message is used to indicate whether a previous piece of data is successfully received, and the first sending interval is less than a distributed interframe space (DIFS); and sending the current data to the AP at the first moment.
