Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and a device for accessing a channel. The method includes: receiving a contention request frame transmitted by a first transmitting end device on M sub-carriers, where the M sub-carriers at least have two inconsecutive sub-carriers, and the contention request frame is modulated onto the M sub-carriers; according to the contention request frame, acquiring channel state information about the first transmitting end device respectively on the M sub-carriers, and determining channel state information about the first transmitting end device respectively on N sub-carriers, where the N sub-carriers are obtained by dividing all or a part of a system available frequency band, the N sub-carriers include the M sub-carriers, both N and M are positive integers, N>M and M>1; and performing allocation of a transmission sub-channel according to the channel state information about the first transmitting end device respectively on the N sub-carriers.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide an OFDMA contention method and an access point. The OFDMA contention method includes: receiving, by an access point, a contention request frame transmitted by a station over a subchannel, and judging whether a sum of a number of stations succeeding in a contention in a current channel contention period and a number of stations succeeding in a historic contention is minor than a preset threshold; if yes, triggering the station to enter a next channel contention period, and repeatedly executing the steps of the receiving and the judging, until a number of stations succeeding in contentions is greater than or equal to the preset threshold. The OFDMA contention method and the access point can increase the number of the stations succeeding in contentions, thereby improving the throughput of an OFDMA system.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and devices for data transmission in a wireless local area network. According to the embodiments of the present application, through transmitting by a terminal a first data frame to an access device, where the first data frame includes indication information and uplink data and the indication information is used to indicate a power save poll and uplink data transmission, the terminal can receive a second data frame which is transmitted by the access device according to the first data frame, where the second data frame includes response information of the power save poll indicated by the indication information. Since the first data frame carrying the uplink data indicates the power save poll simultaneously, downlink data from the access device can be inquired or requested at the same time of transmitting the uplink data, so that data transmission efficiency is improved.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method and an apparatus for retrieving transmission opportunity control in reverse direction grant, so that a conflict occurring between a case where an RD Initiator continues sending another frame to an RD Responder after retrieving TXOP control and a case where a terminal other than the RD Initiator sends a block acknowledgement to the RD Responder can be avoided. The method provided in the embodiments of the present invention includes: when an RD Initiator fails to correctly demodulate a frame sent by an RD Responder, retrieving, by the RD Initiator, TXOP control by using a PIFS if it is impossible for the RD Responder to enable an MU-MIMO mode, and retrieving, by the RD Initiator, the TXOP control by using a duration if it is possible for the RD Responder to enable the MU-MIMO mode, where the duration is longer than the PIFS.
