摘要:
The method performed in the terminal includes generating a random value for wireless channel access, receiving a competitive index indicating a channel competition state from an access point, and determining whether to attempt a wireless channel access based on a comparison result between the random value and the competitive index.Accordingly, in an environment in which a large number of wireless local area network (WLAN) terminals simultaneously attempt the wireless channel access, each terminal voluntarily restricts a wireless connection request in accordance with wireless channel environment information transmitted by an access point, that is, competitive indexes, and therefore wireless channel access competition may be alleviated, thereby improving a wireless connection speed of the terminal and reducing power consumption of the terminal.
