Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to control a service set in a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system comprises: a first access point (AP) comprising a first wireless fidelity (WiFi) communication circuit for providing a first basic service set (BSS); and a second AP comprising a second WiFi communication circuit for providing a second BSS. The first WiFi communication circuit wirelessly receives, from a first mobile station, a first connection request including information on a wireless LAN standard of the first mobile station, wirelessly provides a second mobile station with at least a part of the information, wirelessly receives, from the second mobile station, an approval of a connection of the first mobile station thereto, and after receiving the approval, disconnects a first wireless connection from the first mobile station. The second WiFi communication circuit wirelessly receives an approval from the second mobile station, wirelessly receives a second connection request from the first mobile station, establishes a second wireless connection with the first mobile station on the basis of the approval, and exchanges data with the first mobile station through the second wireless connection. Other embodiments are also possible.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for reducing power consumption in a portable terminal that transmits digital broadcast data through an ad hoc network are provided. If a terminal receiving digital broadcast transmits the received digital broadcast to a neighboring terminal, a control unit enters a sleep mode after buffering received data for a predefined time.
Abstract:
A method of connecting to an Access Point (AP) in a portable terminal is provided. The method includes scanning at least one first AP and at least one second AP that has a different connection scheme from a connection scheme of the first AP; and checking a connection setting and connecting to any of the first and second APs based on the connection setting.
Abstract:
A method and an electronic device are provided and include at least one communication module configured to receive a signal from at least one other electronic device through a first medium, and a processor configured to analyze the signal received from the at least one other electronic device to generate data related to a second medium, and to transmit the generated data to the at least one other electronic device having generated the signal.
Abstract:
A method and electronic device for network connection and authentication is disclosed herein. A control unit is configured to detect authentication information necessary to access a communication network, and detect whether the authentication information corresponding to the communication network is stored in a profile storing at least the authentication information for at least the communication network. A radio frequency (RF) processing unit configured to couple to the communication network in response to detecting that the authentication information is authenticated by an authentication server for the communication network.
Abstract:
A system, an apparatus, and a method for connecting short distance communication, which recognize a sufficiently close particular terminal so as to perform a short distance communication connection with low power consumption, are provided. The system includes a server terminal which broadcasts an action frame for a proximity connection for a first predetermined time when a proximity connection function is set, and a client terminal which checks for reception of the action frame for a second predetermined time when the proximity connection function is set and performs a short distance communication connection with the server terminal when an Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value of the received action frame is equal to or greater than a threshold.

Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for discovering a device in a portable terminal, which can restrict an operation of discovering a device repeated in a communication mode of the portable terminal, are provided. The apparatus includes a memory for storing at least one condition for stopping the discovery of a device, and a control unit for, when the at least one condition for stopping the discovery of a device is satisfied in a device discovering operation for a connection in a communication mode, controlling such that the device discovering operation is stopped.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for connecting a portable terminal to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) are provided. The method includes when a WLAN connection event occurs, performing a WLAN connection procedure by keeping a WLAN module in an awake state, and when the WLAN connection is complete, operating the WLAN module according to a Power Save Mechanism (PSM).
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for connecting to a device in a wireless terminal, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for more conveniently connecting to a desired device in a communication mode of a wireless terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a near distance communication module for exchanging device information for a communication connection through a contact with a specific device, and a controller for controlling the near distance communication module to connect communication to the specific device based on the exchanged device information.
