Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for accessing channels in a wireless LAN system. The method for accessing channels in a station (STA) of the wireless communication system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of transmitting a first frame of a channel access request to an access point (AP); and receiving, from the AP, a second frame related to whether access to the channel is allowed in response to the first frame, wherein the second frame can include a value for a channel access start offset with respect to the STA.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for transmitting a data unit performed by a transmitter in a wireless LAN system. The method comprises: generating a data unit, wherein the data unit includes a data field which contains data to be transmitted by a transmitter; generating at least one data symbol for the data field; and transmitting the at least one data symbol, wherein two pilot tones are inserted into each data symbol, and pilot values and scrambling values are applied to the pilot tones.
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, to a method and a device for transmitting and receiving a traffic indication map (TIM) in a wireless LAN system. The method by which a station (STA) receives a TIM element in a wireless LAN system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: receiving a frame that includes the TIM element from an access point (AP); and decoding a partial virtual bitmap included in the TIM element, wherein one block of the partial virtual bitmap includes one or more association identifier difference value (ΔAID) fields, and a field subsequent to the one or more ΔAID fields can indicate an end of the one block.
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 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:
The present invention relates to a method by which a station (STA) which operates in power save mode in a wireless LAN system transmits and receives frames. The method includes the steps of: obtaining a channel access authority on the basis of at least one slot time, wherein each slot time is the unit time when a channel is maintained in an idle state for a channel access by the STA; transmitting a power save (PS) poll frame requesting the transmission of a buffered frame to an access point (AP); and receiving a response frame from the AP in response to the PS poll frame. The length of each slot time is set to be longer than the transmission time of the PS poll frame.
Abstract:
In a wireless local area network (LAN) system, a sharing access point (AP): receives, from a first AP, basic service set (BSS) information of the first AP; receives, from a second AP, BSS information of the second AP; receives, from a station (STA), a link report signal including link quality information about the link between the first AP and the STA and link quality information about the link between the second AP and the STA; and selects the first AP as a shared AP on the basis of first and second capability information and the link quality information.
Abstract:
Proposed are a method and a device for requesting partial information from APs within a transmission MLD in a WLAN system. Particularly, a reception MLD transmits a probe request frame to a transmission MLD via a first link. The reception MLD receives a probe response frame from the transmission MLD via the first link. When the partial information regarding the first link and the partial information regarding the second link are the same, the partial information regarding the second link is requested on the basis of the first request element, and a value of a first full information profile sub-field is set to 0.
