Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for setting a service period (SP) of a station (STA) in a wireless communication system and an apparatus for supporting the method. More particularly, the method comprises a step of transmitting a trigger frame to an access point (AP) and starting the service period. The trigger frame may be a data frame that includes data to be transmitted to the AP or a null frame for triggering the data transmission of the AP.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless access system, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for optimizing a limited feedback in a distributed antenna systems (DSAs). In one aspect of the present invention, a method for optimizing a limited feedback in a wireless access system supporting a distributed antenna (DA) technique, the method comprises steps of receiving, a user equipment (UE) from a DA port, information related to a transmission power of the DA port; receiving a downlink signal from the DA port; measuring a distance between the UE and the DA port by using the downlink signal from the DA port; calculating a number of feedback bits based on the information of the transmission power and the distance between the UE and the DA port; and transmitting feedback information using the calculated number of feedback bits.
Abstract:
A channel access method in a wireless communication system and an apparatus for supporting the same are disclosed. Particularly, the method comprises the steps of: transmitting a beacon frame containing a traffic indication map (TIM); and receiving a power pave (PS)-poll frame within a PS-Poll section set in a station (STA), to which downlink data is designated by the TIM, from the STA, wherein the PS-Poll section can be set differently for each STA within the entire PS-Poll section set in all STAs, to which downlink data is designated by the TIM.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for accessing channels in a wireless LAN system. The method for accessing channels in a station (STA) of the wireless communication system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of transmitting a first frame of a channel access request to an access point (AP); and receiving, from the AP, a second frame related to whether access to the channel is allowed in response to the first frame, wherein the second frame can include a value for a channel access start offset with respect to the STA.
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for transmitting a signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system which comprises a step wherein, during a predetermined time period in one portion of the frequency bandwidths from among the frequency bandwidths of channels used by said terminal, a carrier wave sensing signal of another terminal is transmitted in which information on the frequency bandwidths of the channel is included.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method for setting an operating channel in a white space band and a device therefor. Particularly, a method for enabling a first device to set an operating channel in a white space band comprises the steps of: acquiring information on an available TV channel from a geo-location database; and setting an operating channel on the basis of the information on the available TV channel, wherein a center frequency of the operating channel can be set differently according to a TV channel used by an incumbent device among TV channels adjacent to the TV channel on which the operating channel is set.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a device for updating system information in a wireless LAN system. A method for updating system information in a station (STA) of a wireless communication system may comprise transmitting, by the STA which stores system information and a configuration change count value of a previously linked preferred access point (AP), a probe request frame for active scanning to the preferred AP; and receiving a probe response frame from the preferred AP. Preferably, the probe request frame includes a configuration change count field previously acquired from the preferred AP, and if a value of the configuration change count field included in the probe request frame is different from a present configuration change count value of the preferred AP, the probe response frame may include one or more elements of system information which should be updated by the STA.
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention is a method for performing channel access using a first station (STA) in a wireless communication system, comprising: a step of receiving a traffic indication map (TIM) bitmap; and a step of attempting channel access for a wireless medium in a first time period indicated by the first TIM bitmap. The first STA attempts channel access for the wireless medium in a third time period which is one of the second time periods indicated by the TIM bitmap in the event that the first STA senses an operation of a second STA relating to the wireless medium in the first time period.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for scanning in a wireless LAN. The method may comprise the following steps: an STA determining identifier information of an AP to be included in a probe request frame as a wildcard SSID and a wildcard BSSID, based on a first MLME; the STA receiving from the AP a frame including information on the BSSID of the AP and the SSID of the AP before a probe delay time expires; the STA determining wither the AP is a target AP based on the BSSID and the SSID; the STA redetermining the identifier information of the AP to be included in the probe request frame based on the BSSID and the SSID, when the AP is the target AP; and the STA unicasting a probe request frame that is re-determined based on the BSSID and the SSID.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and an apparatus for accessing a channel in a wireless LAN system. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for performing channel access by a station (STA) of a wireless communication system comprises: a step of receiving, from an access point (AP), information about the time window which does not allow channel access of a traffic indication map (TIM) mode STA; and a step of performing channel access based on the time window. In the event that the STA is a non-TIM mode STA, the channel access is performed in the time window. In the event that the STA is a TIM mode STA, the channel access is performed in the time interval indicated by the TIM, excluding the time window.
