Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for operating based on a power save mode in a wireless LAN. The method for operating based on the power save mode in a wireless LAN may comprise the steps of: switching an STA from a sleep mode to an active mode after the STA has been switched to a power save mode based on a listen interval, to receive a first beacon frame transmitted by an AP; monitoring a frame for the STA transmitted by the AP until a timer started when the STA is switched to the active mode expires, when the first beacon frame indicates data buffered for the STA; and switching the STA to the sleep mode after the timer expires, wherein the timer can be reset when the frame is transmitted.
Abstract:
The present document relates to a wireless communication system and, more particularly, to a method for establishing a wireless channel by an AP in a high-density wireless LAN system and to an apparatus therefor. The AP configured for this purpose can establish a primary channel and one or more secondary channels, establish one or more downlink oriented channels into one or more secondary channels, but without the one or more downlink oriented channels overlapping the primary channel of an adjacent basic service set (BSS), and transmit, to a station connected to the AP, the frame including establishment information on the established one or more downlink oriented channels.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a multi-user or multi-Station (multi-STA) radio frame including control information in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) system are disclosed. The method includes generating a frame including a signaling field and a data field, and transmitting the generated frame to the plurality of STAs. The signaling field includes a first signaling field (a SIG A field) including control information for frame interpretation and a second signaling field (a SIG B field) including control information individually for each of the plurality of STAs, the second signaling field includes a first block including common control information for the plurality of STAs, and a second block including control information for each of the plurality of STAs.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for receiving a downlink frame in a wireless LAN are disclosed. The method and apparatus for receiving a downlink frame in a wireless LAN may comprises the steps of: an STA receiving from an AP a downlink frame via a downlink dedicated channel; and the STA transmitting to the AP a response frame related to the downlink frame via the downlink dedicated channel. The downlink dedicated channel allows transmission only of a contention-free downlink frame by the AP and a response frame by the STA, and restricts transmission of an independent uplink frame by the STA, wherein the independent uplink frame may be an uplink frame other than a response frame among uplink frames that are transmitted from the STA to the AP.
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:
A method and an apparatus for accessing a channel are disclosed. The method of an STA accessing a channel may comprise the steps of: and STA that is operable in a power-saving mode switching from a sleep state to an active state during a beacon interval; the STA monitoring a channel access parameter frame after being switched to the active state; the STA receiving the channel access parameter frame from an AP, wherein the channel access parameter frame includes EDCA set determining information; and the STA accessing a channel using an EDCA parameter determined on the basis of the EDCA set determining information, wherein the channel access parameter frame can be transmitted at least once between beacon intervals.
Abstract:
Method and device for receiving a data unit are disclosed. A method for receiving a PPDU including a PPDU header and a data field of an STA may comprise the step of: an STA receiving the PPDU header from an AP; the STA determining whether the PPDU transfers a scanning frame on the basis of the PPDU header; and the STA determining whether to decode the data field on the basis of whether to perform a scanning procedure and whether the PPDU transfers the scanning frame.
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:
A method and a mobile station operating in a wireless communication system are described. Information on a primary carrier and one or more secondary carriers is received on a multi-carrier from a base station. Information on activation or deactivation of the one or more secondary carriers is received. The mobile station communicates with the base station via the primary carrier and one or more activated secondary carriers. Configuration information for power management is received that informs the mobile station of a first time period during which the mobile station monitors signals from the base station and of a second time period during which the mobile station does not monitor signals from the base station. When a specific indication is received from the base station, the mobile station stops the first time period and enters into the second time period.
Abstract:
A method for scanning assigned carriers in a multicarrier system may include receiving a multicarrier advertisement message from a base station, the multicarrier advertisement message including scan reporting trigger control information of assigned secondary carriers, performing scanning for the assigned secondary carriers, and reporting the scan results to the base station when a specific metric measured by the scanning meets a condition set in the scan reporting trigger control information.
