Abstract:
The present specification pertains to a method for executing service discovery by means of a first type advertiser device in a wireless communication system, wherein the method may comprise the steps of: receiving a probe request message from a searcher device; determining the type of the searcher device on the basis of the received probe request message; and transmitting a probe response message to the searcher device. Here, the first type advertiser device may execute service discovery with at least one or more of a first type searcher device and a second type searcher device. Here, identification information corresponding to the determined type may be included in the probe response message.
Abstract:
Proposed is a method for receiving a Wi-Fi service by a wireless LAN station supporting an application service platform (ASP). Specifically, the Wi-Fi service can be received through at least two connection techniques, for example, a Wi-Fi direct connection of Wi-Fi infrastructure connection may be used. The wireless LAN station having an ASP may detect information on each of the connection techniques and may be provided with the Wi-Fi service using one of the connection techniques. In addition, when a change in a communication environment or the like occurs, the connection technique may be switched and, in this case, signaling for switching the connection technique may be used.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transmitting an uplink frame in a wireless LAN. The method for transmitting an uplink frame in a wireless LAN may comprise: a step in which an STA receives a downlink PPDU from an AP through a downlink dedicated channel; a step in which the STA performs a first channel switching from the downlink dedicated channel to a general channel on the basis of information about TXOP duration for transmitting the downlink PPDU if STA indication information included in the received downlink PPDU does not indicate the STA and a pending uplink frame is present in the STA; a step in which the STA performs a channel access for transmitting the uplink frame via the general channel on a time resource corresponding to the TXOP duration; and a step in which the STA performs a second channel switching from the general channel to the downlink dedicated channel on the basis of the information about TXOP duration.
Abstract:
A scanning method and apparatus in wireless LAN is disclosed. The method comprises determining, by an access point (AP), whether to accommodate a station (STA) conducting an initial link setup and transmitting, by the AP, a frame to the STA, the frame including scanning redirection information for the STA to switch other channel, other band, or a neighbor AP when the AP determines not to accommodate the STA. The scanning redirection information includes a band field and a channel field. The band field indicating a band in which the STA conducts the initial link setup when the STA conducts the initial link setup from current band to the other band. The channel field indicating a channel in which the STA conducts the initial link setup when the STA conducts the initial link setup from current channel to the other channel.
Abstract:
A method for gaining access according to one embodiment of the present invention in which a station (STA) gains access to a medium in wireless communication system comprises the steps of: sensing a carrier wave for a medium so as to transmit a set frame; and, if the medium is busy, executing a random back-off procedure, wherein the starting point of the random back-off procedure is indicated by a second parameter randomly selected from within a range in accordance with a first parameter.
Abstract:
A method and corresponding device for performing active scanning in a wireless local area network (LAN). The method includes: receiving, by a first station (STA), a second probe request frame from a second STA, wherein the second probe request frame is transmitted based on broadcast; and determining, by the first STA, whether to transmit a first probe request frame for an active scanning based on the second probe request frame. The first STA determines not to transmit the first probe request frame if the first STA is capable of receiving information related to an AP to be associated based on the second probe request frame.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an active scanning method and apparatus. The method of performing scanning in a wireless local area network (WLAN) includes: a step of a scanning station generating scan request information so as to order active scanning; a step of the scanning station receiving a scanning frame from the station; and a step of the scanning station transmitting a probe request frame in order to perform the active scanning in case the received scanning frame does not include any of the elements that are ordered in the scan request information. Accordingly, scanning procedures can be performed quickly.
Abstract:
A wireless communication system is disclosed. Specifically, a channelization method in a whitespace band and an apparatus for the same are disclosed. A method for providing whitespace operation information includes transmitting, by a first station (STA) to a second STA, a frame including a TV whitespace high throughput (TVHT) operation information field. The TVHT operation information field includes primary channel number, channel width, channel center frequency segment 0 and channel center frequency segment 1 subfields. A channel center frequency of frequency segment 0 or frequency segment 1 is determined based on a channel start frequency. The channel start frequency is determined as a function of a TV channel index corresponding to the frequency segment 0 or a TV channel index corresponding to the frequency segment 1.
Abstract:
A method for accessing an initial channel by a STA can comprise the steps of: the STA receiving, via a first band from a multiband AP, a scanning frame comprising a neighboring AP information element, wherein the neighboring AP information element comprises information for a second band which is an operating band for the neighboring AP; the STA determining whether accessing the neighboring AP is possible on the basis of information comprised in the neighboring AP information element regarding an access network type of the neighboring AP operating in the second band; if access to the neighboring AP is possible, the STA transmitting an association request frame to the neighboring AP via the second band, wherein the access network type can comprise information regarding an access permission type of a neighboring AP.
