    摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to control a service set in a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system comprises: a first access point (AP) comprising a first wireless fidelity (WiFi) communication circuit for providing a first basic service set (BSS); and a second AP comprising a second WiFi communication circuit for providing a second BSS. The first WiFi communication circuit wirelessly receives, from a first mobile station, a first connection request including information on a wireless LAN standard of the first mobile station, wirelessly provides a second mobile station with at least a part of the information, wirelessly receives, from the second mobile station, an approval of a connection of the first mobile station thereto, and after receiving the approval, disconnects a first wireless connection from the first mobile station. The second WiFi communication circuit wirelessly receives an approval from the second mobile station, wirelessly receives a second connection request from the first mobile station, establishes a second wireless connection with the first mobile station on the basis of the approval, and exchanges data with the first mobile station through the second wireless connection. Other embodiments are also possible.
