Abstract:
A method for multiple frame transmission in a wireless communication system and a transmitter are provided. The transmitter transmits a request to send (RTS) frame to a receiver. The RTS frame has a first bandwidth. The transmitter receives a clear to send (CTS) frame as a response of the RTS frame from the receiver to establish a transmission opportunity (TXOP) indicating an interval of time when the transmitter has the right to transmit at least one data frame. The CTS frame has a second bandwidth. The transmitter transmits a plurality of data frames sequentially to the receiver during the TXOP.
Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for allocating resources in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, the method including determining a restricted access bandwidth (RAB) interval based on at least a bandwidth or a partial bandwidth among a plurality of bandwidths, and setting a restricted access window (RAW) of a time domain based on theRAB interval.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method of controlling slot-based channel access by an access point (AP) to manage a network in a wireless local area network (WLAN) environment and a slot-based channel access terminal are disclosed. A slot-based channel access control apparatus of a WLAN system according to an exemplary embodiment determines one of each terminal and a group of terminals as a slot allocation target, allocates a slot defined in a beacon interval to the determined terminal or group to distinguish channel access time, and transmits a beacon including information on the allocated slot.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of transmitting and receiving a frame for a multi-user multiple-input and multiple-output (MU-MIMO) communication in an access point (AP), the method including determining at least one transmission station (STA), transmitting, to the transmission STA, an uplink multi-user poll (UL MU poll) frame requesting a data frame, receiving the data frame from the at least one transmission STA simultaneously, and transmitting an acknowledgement (ACK) frame to the at least one transmission STA in response to the receiving.
Abstract:
Provided are a method of allocating resources in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system and the WLAN system including an access point (AP) to allocate a resource for communication between a relay and a station associated with the relay, the relay to allocate a restricted access window (RAW) or a slot for communication with a station based on the allocated resource, and the station to communicate with the relay based on the allocated RAW or the allocated slot.
Abstract:
A scanning method performed by a station (STA) in a wireless LAN system is provided. The method comprises: transmitting a probe request frame; and receiving a short probe response frame from an access point (AP) as a response to the probe request frame. The short probe response frame includes service set ID (SSID) information or compressed SSID information of the AP.
Abstract:
An interference alignment (AI) method for an uplink in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, an access point (AP) and a user terminal for performing the same, and the AP that may select an interference space, broadcast information on the selected interference space, select a user terminal to be assigned a data transmission opportunity based on leakage of interference (LIF) information received from at least one user terminal, receive data from the user terminal, and decode the data using a minimum square error (MMSE) based receiving filter.
Abstract:
An interference alignment (IA) method for a downlink in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, an access point (AP) and a user terminal for performing the same are provided, wherein the AP may broadcast beam information on randomly selected beams and calculate an leakage of interference (LIF) based on the beam information received from the AP, the user terminal may generate feedback information including LIF information and transmit the feedback information to the AP, and the AP may determine a transmission power term with respect to each beam based on the feedback information received from the user terminal and transmit data to the user terminal based on the determined transmission power term.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of providing a communication service and an apparatus for performing the method, in which the method includes determining a first user group including a selected user terminal to which a communication service is provided by a communication device belonging to a cell coverage area, determining a second user group including at least one candidate user terminal selected from a plurality of candidate user terminals based on interference information affecting the selected user terminal, and determining the first user group and the second user group to be a final user group to which the communication service is to be provided by the communication device.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and apparatus for an access point (AP) to control channel access of a station in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system. An AP according to one embodiment may determine resource allocation information for protecting a resource for a station not referring to traffic indication map (TIM) information. The determined resource allocation information is transmitted to a station referring to the TIM information, and the station referring to the TIM information does not conduct channel access in a time period specified in the resource allocation information.
