Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more specifically, to a method for setting up a high-speed link in a WLAN system and a device for the same. A method for setting up a high-speed link by a station (STA) in a WLAN system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, can comprise the steps of: transmitting a frame including identification information and/or fragment identification information of a previous access point (AP) from the STA to a current AP; and receiving Generic Advertisement Service (GAS) query response information from the current AP, wherein when the identification information of the previous AP is included in the frame, the GAS query response information can be acquired by the current AP from the previous AP.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for scanning in a wireless LAN are disclosed. The method for scanning in a wireless LAN comprises the steps of: enabling a station (STA) to receive, from a first access point (AP) operated in a first channel, a detection frame comprising identifier information of a second AP operated in a second channel and beacon frame transmission time information of the second AP, and enabling the STA to scan a beacon frame of the second AP on the basis of the beacon frame transmission time information of the second AP. Thus, the present invention can rapidly perform a scanning operation.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a scanning method and scanning apparatus in a wireless LAN. The scanning method in a wireless LAN comprises: a step in which an access point (AP) receives a first probe request frame from a first station (STA); a step in which the AP unicasts a first probe response frame to the first STA as a response to the first probe request frame; a step in which the AP receives a second probe request frame from a second STA for a specific time interval after unicasting the first probe response frame to the first STA; and a step in which the AP broadcasts a second probe response frame as a response to the second probe request frame for a specific time interval. Thus, scanning processes can be quickly performed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and device for performing or supporting selective decoding of a beacon frame in a wireless LAN system. A method of decoding a frame by a station STA in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: determining whether to decode each of a first data portion and a second data portion of the frame; and decoding one or more of the first data portion and the second data portion if it is determined that the decoding is performed. Hence, the frame may further include information that is used for the determination by the station STA on whether to decode each of the first data portion and the second data portion, and whether to decode may be determined on the basis of whether to change one or more of the first data portion and the second data portion.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method for transmitting and receiving a traffic indication map (TIM) in a wireless communication system and a device for supporting the same. More particularly, the method for transmitting a traffic indication map comprises the step of transmitting a TIM to a STA through a beacon frame, wherein the TIM includes: a block bitmap field for indicating a subblock including a STA in which buffered downlink data exists for respective N (N are two or more natural numbers) blocks; and a block control field for indicating an encoding method for the bitmap field.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and a method and apparatus for controlling channel access in a wireless LAN system. The method for controlling the channel access of a station (STA) of a wireless communication system according to the present invention comprises detecting a short frame transmitted by another STA; and deferring the channel access of the STA by a predetermined length of time. The short frame is a frame that triggers a service period during which the transceiving of a plurality of data frames of the other STA is allowed. The predetermined length of time can be set to the value corresponding to the length of time ranging from the start of the service period to the point in time at which the transceiving of a first data frame from among the plurality of data frames of the other STA is completed.
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 receiving from an access point (AP) setting information of a time window, which does not allow channel access of the STA in a traffic indication map (TIM) mode and which is repeatedly set in a cyclic manner; and carrying out the channel access on the basis of the time window, wherein the setting information includes starting point information of a specific time window and cycle information of the time window, wherein the time window is repeatedly set for every cycle that is indicated by the cycle information of the time window.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for transmitting data units in wireless LAN systems. The method includes the steps of generating a short training field (STF) for a first channel, generating a long training field (LTF) for the first channel, duplicating the STF on at least one second channel, duplicating the LTF on at least one second channel, transmitting the STF and the one or more duplicated STFs through a transmission channel, transmitting the LTF and the one or more duplicated LTFs through the transmission channel, and transmitting a data field through the transmission channel.
