The method comprises: transmitting a probe request frame to an access point (AP), wherein the probe request frame includes system information identification information for identifying system information acquired by the STA; and receiving a probe response frame as a response to the probe request frame from the AP. The probe response frame includes a time stamp value related to the point of time of transmitting the probe response frame, and if it is determined, based on the system information identification information, that updated information which is not included in said acquired system information exists, the probe response frame further includes said updated information. Also provided is a communication method by an access point (AP) in a wireless LAN system. The method comprises: receiving a probe request frame from a station (STA), wherein the probe request frame includes information related to a wake-up duration time that is a time period in which the STA operates in an awake state; and transmitting a probe response frame to the STA as a response to the probe request frame. The probe response frame is transmitted within said wake-up duration time.
Abstract:
A method and a transmitting station for transmitting data by using a multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) in a wireless local area network system are discussed. The method according to an embodiment includes transmitting a physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) including a bundled interface field, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index field and a data field. The bundled interface field indicates a number of at least one spatial stream allocated to each of a plurality of receiving stations and a total number of spatial streams allocated to the plurality of receiving stations. The MCS index field indicates a same MCS index used for modulating and coding the at least one spatial stream. The data field is modulated and coded by an MCS scheme indicated by the MCS index field and transmitted via the plurality of spatial streams indicated by the bundled interface field.

The method according to one embodiment is performed by an access point and includes receiving a power save (PS) poll on a first 20 MHz channel from a station operating in a power save mode; receiving at least one duplicated PS poll frame on at least one second 20 MHz channel from the station, the at least one duplicated PS poll frame including at least one duplicate of the PS poll frame; and transmitting a buffered frame to the station as a response to at least one of the PS poll frame and the at least one duplicated PS poll frame.
Abstract:
A method of multi user multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system; and a transmitting device therefore are discussed. The method according to an embodiment includes generating an Aggregate-Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit (A-MPDU) including an A-MPDU subframe, the A-MPDU subframe including a Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) delimiter field; and selecting a type of a guard interval. When the A-MPDU is generated for a plurality of receiving devices, the transmitting device selects a short guard interval only if all of the plurality of receiving devices support the short guard interval. The MPDU delimiter field includes a null field and an MPDU length field, the null field indicates a corresponding A-MPDU subframe is used to pad the A-MPDU, and the MPDU length field indicates a length of an MPDU. The null field is a 1-bit information field.
