The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more specifically, disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transreceiving operating channel information. A method for providing an operating parameter of a station, which operates in a whitespace band, according to the present invention, comprises the steps of: transmitting a frame comprising an operation information field including a channel width subfield; and transmitting a signal (SIG) field of a physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) preamble, wherein the SIG field comprises a bandwidth (BW) field, and wherein the type of the PPDU can be determined on the basis of the channel width subfield and the BW field.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for updating system information in a wireless LAN system. A method for a station (STA) to update system information in a wireless communication system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: if the value of a change sequence field received by the STA from an access point (AP) is different from the value of the change sequence field stored in the STA, transmitting, to the AP, a probe request frame including the change sequence field set to the value of the change sequence field stored in the STA; and a step of receiving, from the AP, a probe response frame responding to the probe request frame including the change sequence field.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for a station (STA) to perform channel access in a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of: receiving a beacon frame including a traffic indication map (TIM); a step of checking, if the TIM indicates to the STA that buffered traffic exists, information relating to a PS-poll transmission type; and a step of transmitting a PS-poll frame according to either a first type or second type of transmission indicated by the information relating to the PS-poll frame transmission type. The first type of transmission involves transmitting the PS-poll frame after performing contention, and the second type of transmission involves transmitting the PS-poll frame in the time interval set for 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. The method for accessing a channel from a station (STA) in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: receiving from an access point (AP) a first frame including a traffic indication map (TIM) and a restricted access window (RAW) parameter set component; determining a RAW in which channel access of the STA is permitted, on the basis of the RAW parameter set (RPS) component; and transmitting a second frame to the AP from within the RAW that is determined, wherein the RAW includes at least one slot, the RPS component includes at least one RAW allocation field, each of the at least one RAW allocation field includes a RAW duration field and a slot duration field, and wherein an index of a slot which is allocated to the STA can be determined on the basis of an association identifier (AID) of the STA and the number of the slots in the RAW.
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 the steps of: receiving from an access point (AP) setting information with respect to at least one slot allowing channel access by the STA; and beginning the channel access from a slot boundary of the at least one slot, wherein the channel access may begin without a clear channel assessment (CCA).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and an apparatus for accessing a channel in a wireless LAN system. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for performing channel access by a station (STA) of a wireless communication system comprises: a step of receiving, from an access point (AP), information about the time window which does not allow channel access of a traffic indication map (TIM) mode STA; and a step of performing channel access based on the time window. In the event that the STA is a non-TIM mode STA, the channel access is performed in the time window. In the event that the STA is a TIM mode STA, the channel access is performed in the time interval indicated by the TIM, excluding the time window.
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:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for performing MAC header compression in a wireless communication system. In a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention, a station STA may: receive information on assigning a plurality of association identifiers (AIDs) to the station STA from an access point (AP); receive, from the AP, a first frame including a medium access control (MAC) header that includes an address field set to one of the plurality of AIDs; and assign each of the plurality of AIDs by flow for the station STA.
