Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for supporting a plurality of basic bandwidth modes in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system supporting a multi-bandwidth, wherein a communication method of an access point (AP) in a WLAN system includes verifying an operational status of a network by an AP included in the network supporting a first bandwidth and a second bandwidth two times greater than the first bandwidth, allocating a first time slot in which a transmission of a frame with at least the first bandwidth is allowed, based on the operational status of the network, and allocating a second time slot in which a transmission of a frame with at least the second bandwidth is allowed, based on the operational status of the network.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for transceiving data. A method in which a transmitting terminal transmits data to a receiving terminal in a MIMO system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps: generating a data field containing the data; generating a signal field containing information on the data field; generating a data frame containing the data field and the signal field; and transmitting the data frame to the receiving terminal. According to the present invention, an end of the frame being transmitted is accurately notified to the receiving terminal in a communication system in which the frame is transmitted using MIMO, thereby decoding the frame in a more efficient manner at the receiving terminal.
