Abstract:
An operating mode change method of a wireless local area network (WLAN) system according to an exemplary embodiment includes transmitting, by a station (STA) to an access point (AP), an operating mode change request frame comprising at least one of information on a change of a traffic indication map (TIM) mode, a request for a change of a power save parameter, and information on a change of a service type of the STA, receiving, from the AP, an operating mode change response frame comprising at least one of a TIM mode allowed by the AP, a reallocated association identification (AID), and information on a changed power save parameter, and performing at least one of the change of the TIM mode and the change of the power save parameter based on the information included in the operating mode change.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for communication in a wireless local area network (LAN) system supporting a multi-bandwidth in which a communication apparatus supporting a multi-bandwidth includes generating a base frame based on at least one of a first bandwidth having the lowest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) among predetermined bandwidths and a second bandwidth that is two times greater than the first bandwidth, configuring a duplication mode frame based on the base frame, and transmitting the duplication mode frame through a plurality of bands.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method of controlling slot-based channel access by an access point (AP) to manage a network in a wireless local area network (WLAN) environment and a slot-based channel access terminal are disclosed. A slot-based channel access control apparatus of a WLAN system according to an exemplary embodiment determines one of each terminal and a group of terminals as a slot allocation target, allocates a slot defined in a beacon interval to the determined terminal or group to distinguish channel access time, and transmits a beacon including information on the allocated slot.
Abstract:
