Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a device for updating system information in a wireless LAN system. A method for updating system information in a station (STA) of a wireless communication system may comprise transmitting, by the STA which stores system information and a configuration change count value of a previously linked preferred access point (AP), a probe request frame for active scanning to the preferred AP; and receiving a probe response frame from the preferred AP. Preferably, the probe request frame includes a configuration change count field previously acquired from the preferred AP, and if a value of the configuration change count field included in the probe request frame is different from a present configuration change count value of the preferred AP, the probe response frame may include one or more elements of system information which should be updated by the STA.

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 a step of transmitting a power save-poll (PS-poll) for channel accessing from a listening interval to an access point, wherein the station operates in a non-traffic indication map (TIM) mode which is not limited by a TIM element that is transmitted from the access point, and wherein the time of transmission of the PS-poll is not limited by the TIM element.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for performing a channel access by a station (STA) in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: transmitting a first frame for a channel access request to an access point (AP); and receiving a second frame, which is a response to the channel access request, from the AP, wherein the first frame includes information indicating whether or not uplink data of the STA is present.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for performing a cooperative operation between heterogeneous networks and a device for same. A method for a first type base station to perform a cooperative operation between heterogeneous networks in a wireless communication system includes receiving a downlink synchronization channel from at least one second type base station; obtaining an identifier (ID) of the second type base station by using the received downlink synchronization channel; and transmitting at least one of a channel number and a bandwidth of a center frequency of the first type base station and the cell ID of the second type base station to a server. The first type base station and the second type base station use different wireless communication methods or wireless access methods.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a broadband wireless access system, and more particularly, to a method for efficiently determining power for ranging performed by a terminal on a target base station or a target region during handover or during changing of a region. A method for controlling uplink power for network reentry of a terminal from a first region to a second region in a broadband wireless access system, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: receiving a media access control (MAC) management message including a power control parameter that is to be applied to the second region from the first region; and performing ranging to the second region by applying the power control parameter.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for changing an association ID in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor. Specifically, a method for changing an association identification (AID) of a first station (STA) communicating directly with a second STA in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: receiving, from an access point (AP), a reassignment response frame containing new AID information to be newly allocated to the first STA; the first STA transmitting an update request frame containing the new AID information to the second STA; and as a response to the update request frame, receiving an update response frame from the second STA.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a wireless communication system. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a method of performing a procedure for link-setup and an apparatus therefore, wherein the method comprises: receiving a probe request frame including time information via a channel, wherein the time information indicates at least one of a minimum scan time for the channel and a maximum scan time for the channel; and performing a procedure for transmitting a probe response frame after receipt of the probe request frame, wherein if a beacon transmission time occurs within a time given based on the time information, transmission of the probe response frame is omitted.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more specifically, disclosed are a method and an apparatus for setting up a high-speed link in a WLAN system. A method for a station (STA) setting up the high-speed link in the wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: scanning and discovering a plurality of access points (APs); transmitting a request frame to a portion or all of the plurality of APs by using a multicast or a broadcast technique; and receiving a response frame from the portion or all of the plurality of APs.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an active scanning method and an active scanning device. The active scanning method in a wireless LAN comprises the steps of: a second station (STA) receiving a first probe request frame which has been broadcast by a first STA; and the second STA broadcasting a second probe request frame. The second probe request frame may include a probe request frame detection field, and the probe request frame detection field may indicate that the second STA has received the first probe request frame. Accordingly, a probe response frame is broadcast to a plurality of STAs, thus simplifying a scanning procedure.
