Abstract:
Disclosed are a method for setting an operating channel in a white space band and a device therefor. Particularly, a method for enabling a first device to set an operating channel in a white space band comprises the steps of: acquiring information on an available TV channel from a geo-location database; and setting an operating channel on the basis of the information on the available TV channel, wherein a center frequency of the operating channel can be set differently according to a TV channel used by an incumbent device among TV channels adjacent to the TV channel on which the operating channel is set.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transmitting a downlink in a wireless communication system. A method for transmitting the downlink in a WLAN comprises the steps of: an access point (AP) transmitting, to a plurality of stations (STA), each of a plurality of request to send (RTS) frames through each of a plurality of channels; and the AP receiving a clear to send (CTS) frame from at least one of the plurality of STAs through at least one channel from the plurality of channels, wherein each of the plurality of RTS frames may include channel information for indicating a channel to be used from among the plurality of channels when transmitting the downlink to each of the STAs, and identifier information for indicating the plurality of STAs.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for channel availability query on multiple locations in a wireless local area network system. A method for a station (STA) to perform a channel query procedure in a wireless communication system comprises: transmitting, at a first STA corresponding to a channel availability query requesting STA, a first message to a second STA supporting the channel availability query procedure, wherein the second STA corresponds to a channel availability query responding STA, wherein the first message comprises device location information of one or more locations for the channel availability query; and receiving, at the first STA from the second STA, a second message comprising channel availability information, wherein the channel availability information is commonly applicable to multiple locations within an area, when the device location information of the first message is for the multiple location within the area.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for recovering data units in a wireless communication system. The method of recovering data units in a wireless LAN comprises the steps of: determining a channel state of at least one secondary channel band for a predetermined time after an STA has failed to transmit a first PPDU; and transmitting, at the STA, a second PPDU through a recovery channel band determined on the basis of the channel state, wherein the first PPDU is data transmitted through a primary channel and at least one secondary channel, and the recovery channel band may include, from among the primary channel band and at least one secondary channel, a secondary channel that is in an idle state.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more specifically, disclosed are a method and an apparatus for low-power scanning in a WLAN system. A method for a station (STA) scanning in the wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: transmitting a null data packet (NDP) probe request frame; and receiving from an access point (AP) a probe reply frame as a replay to the NDP probe request frame, wherein the NDP probe request frame can include a compressed service set ID (SSID).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, more specifically, provides a method and device for transmitting/receiving a frame in accordance with the bandwidth thereof in a WLAN system. The method for performing a response process in a WLAN system according to one embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a step in which a first station (STA) transmits a frame requesting a response frame to a second STA; and a step in which the first STA awaits the response frame for an ACKTimeout interval. The value of the ACKTimeout interval may be determined differently according to the preamble channel bandwidth type of the frame.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing channel access in a WLAN system are disclosed. A method for managing a network allocation vector (NAV) by a station (STA) in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system includes: receiving a Contention Free (CF)-END frame including a duration field; if the CF-END frame is a first-type CF-END frame, resetting the NAV; and if the CF-END frame is a second-type CF-END frame, determining whether to reset the NAV according to a comparison result between a value of the duration field and a NAV value of the STA.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more specifically, disclosed are a method and an apparatus for accessing a channel in a WLAN system. A method for accessing the channel from a station (STA) in the wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises a step of transmitting a power save-poll (PS-poll) for channel accessing from a listening interval to an access point, wherein the station operates in a non-traffic indication map (TIM) mode which is not limited by a TIM element that is transmitted from the access point, and wherein the time of transmission of the PS-poll is not limited by the TIM element.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving a power save-polling (PS-Poll) frame and response frame in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system are disclosed. The method for transmitting a frame by a station (STA) in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system includes awakening at a predetermined time, and transmitting a Power Save (PS)-Poll frame to an access point (AP); and receiving information in response to the PS-Poll frame from the access point (AP), wherein information indicating an access category (AC) of the PS-Poll frame is provided from the access point (AP) to the station (STA).
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for transmitting a signal of a station (STA) operable in a power saving mode in a wireless communication system, and the method for transmitting a signal comprises a step of transmitting a PS-Poll frame and/or a trigger frame according to a first time period, wherein an integrated scaling factor is applied to the first time period, and the integrated scaling factor is also commonly applied to a second time period in which the STA can omit frame transmission by maintaining an association state with an access point (AP).
