Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for allocating a flexible transmission slot in a wireless local area network (LAN) system are disclosed. A flexible transmission slot allocation method of an access point (AP) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system according to an exemplary embodiment includes transmitting a beacon including a traffic indication map (TIM) bit to a station, receiving a power save poll (PS-Poll) from the station in a slot implicitly allocated by the TIM bit, and transmitting an acknowledgement (ACK) including transmission slot allocation information on downlink data to the station.
Abstract:
An operation method of a repeater relaying wireless communications between a base station and at least one terminal in a communication system may include: transmitting, to the base station, a first capability report including information on beam-related capability supported by the repeater; transmitting, to the base station, a first request signal for requesting to perform first configuration for coverage extension of the repeater; receiving, from the base station, information on the first configuration configured based on the first capability report and the first request signal; and relaying the wireless communications between the base station and the at least one terminal based on one or more beams formed based on the received first configuration.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for communication using fronthaul interfaces. An operation method of a first communication node includes transmitting a section type 8 message #1 including numerology-related information #1; transmitting a section type 9 message #1 including channel information of each of one or more second communication nodes indicated by the section type 8 message #1 and the numerology related information #1, transmitting a section type 8 message #2 including numerology-related information #2 other than the numerology-related information #1; and transmitting a section type 9 message #2 including channel information of each of one or more third communication nodes indicated by the section type 8 message #2 and the numerology-related information #2.
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:
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 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:
A frame transmission method and a wireless communication apparatus performing the same. A frame transmission method performed by a first wireless communication apparatus includes receiving subframe unit length information of a second wireless communication apparatus from the second wireless communication apparatus, determining a subframe unit length of the first wireless communication apparatus based on the received subframe unit length information, generating a plurality of subframes based on the determined subframe unit length, and transmitting a frame in which the generated subframes are aggregated to the second wireless communication apparatus, and wherein, when at least one of the subframes includes a padding, a length of the padding allows a length of the at least one of the subframes including the padding to be a multiple of a natural number of the determined subframe unit length.
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.
