Abstract:
The present invention relates to techniques for a sensor network, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, machine-type communication (MTC) and internet of things (IoT). The present invention may be applied to said technique-based intelligent services (such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, and services associated with security and safety). A transmission apparatus of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a transmission unit for transmitting a compressed beacon frame by means of a plurality of transmission beams; a receiving unit for receiving information for the optimal transmission beam from among the plurality of transmission beams; and a control unit for controlling beamforming by means of a beam received from a terminal, wherein the data and header are compressed into a single frame in the compressed beacon frame.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide an electronic device and a method of performing wireless communication using beamforming provided. The electronic device for performing wireless communication using beamforming includes: a communication unit for communicating signals with a correspondent node; a memory for storing a beamforming setup table; and a controller for: identifying identification information regarding the correspondent node based on at least one of schedule information, a reception packet and a transmission packet; identifying beamforming setup information corresponding to the identification information identified regarding the correspondent node, from the beamforming setup table; and establishing a beamforming link with the correspondent node based on the beamforming setup information, to communicate data via the link. The disclosure is not limited to the embodiments. The embodiments can be modified to other examples.
