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:
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 the RAB interval.
Abstract:
A wireless device of transmitting a data frame in a WLAN is provided. The wireless device includes: a MAC unit generating a data frame; a PHY unit transmitting a wireless signal of the data frame; and a processor being operably coupled to the MAC unit and the PHY unit and controlling a set of TXVECTOR parameters. The processor is configured for: generating the data frame, the data frame including a data field having a service field and a very high throughput signal information (VHT-SIG-B); and transmitting a wireless signal of the data frame via a operating channel bandwidth. The data field is scrambled with a scrambling sequence, the scrambling sequence is generated based on a initial scrambling sequence and a generator polynomial. The service field is determined based on the set of TXVECTOR parameters, the TXVECTOR parameters including an control information for the service field.
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 transmitting, to each of a plurality of stations (STAs), an uplink multi-user request (UL MU request) frame requesting transmission of a data frame, and receiving, from each of the plurality of STAs, the data frame during an identical period of time based on an identical reception intensity, wherein the UL MU request frame includes at least one of information on a transmission time of the data frame and information on a reception intensity of the data frame in the AP.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a communication method using interference alignment in a wireless local area network (WLAN). An access point (AP) according to one embodiment may receive first channel information between a station associated with the AP and the AP and second channel information between the station and a neighboring AP to perform interference alignment in cooperation with the AP from the station, and perform interference alignment based on the first channel information and the second channel information.
Abstract:
Provided is slot use control apparatus and method, including an access point (AP) to control a slotted channel access of a station (STA) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) includes generating a synchronization (synch) frame including an identification value indicating an STA allocated to a slot, and broadcasting the generated synch frame when a channel is in an idle state at a start point of the slot.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a wireless communication method, and an access point and a station which perform the wireless communication method. A wireless communication method performed by an access point according to an embodiment may include performing channel sounding on a plurality of subchannels, identifying subchannels selected by stations among the subchannels, scheduling communications between the AP and the stations based on the selected subchannels, and transmitting a data frame to the stations through the subchannels based on a scheduling result.
Abstract:
An operating method of an access point (AP) and an operating method of a relay are disclosed in which the AP may determine whether to associate with the relay based on at least one of first information indicating whether use of an overlapping channel is restricted, second information indicating whether an operation using a non-overlapping channel is supported by the relay, and third information indicating whether use of a channel identical to a channel used by the AP is requested.
Abstract:
A scanning method in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system is provided. The scanning method includes transmitting, by a station, a probe request frame and receiving, by the station, a probe response frame from an access point (AP). The AP determines whether to transmit the probe response frame in response to the probe request frame using information indicated by the probe request frame.
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.
