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:
Provided are a method of allocating resources in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system and the WLAN system including an access point (AP) to allocate a resource for communication between a relay and a station associated with the relay, the relay to allocate a restricted access window (RAW) or a slot for communication with a station based on the allocated resource, and the station to communicate with the relay based on the allocated RAW or the allocated slot.
Abstract:
A scanning method performed by a station (STA) in a wireless LAN system is provided. The method comprises: transmitting a probe request frame; and receiving a short probe response frame from an access point (AP) as a response to the probe request frame. The short probe response frame includes service set ID (SSID) information or compressed SSID information of the AP.

Abstract:
An interference alignment (IA) method for a downlink in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, an access point (AP) and a user terminal for performing the same are provided, wherein the AP may broadcast beam information on randomly selected beams and calculate an leakage of interference (LIF) based on the beam information received from the AP, the user terminal may generate feedback information including LIF information and transmit the feedback information to the AP, and the AP may determine a transmission power term with respect to each beam based on the feedback information received from the user terminal and transmit data to the user terminal based on the determined transmission power term.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of providing a communication service and an apparatus for performing the method, in which the method includes determining a first user group including a selected user terminal to which a communication service is provided by a communication device belonging to a cell coverage area, determining a second user group including at least one candidate user terminal selected from a plurality of candidate user terminals based on interference information affecting the selected user terminal, and determining the first user group and the second user group to be a final user group to which the communication service is to be provided by the communication device.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and apparatus for an access point (AP) to control channel access of a station in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system. An AP according to one embodiment may determine resource allocation information for protecting a resource for a station not referring to traffic indication map (TIM) information. The determined resource allocation information is transmitted to a station referring to the TIM information, and the station referring to the TIM information does not conduct channel access in a time period specified in the resource allocation information.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an access point apparatus for configuring a next generation wireless communication and a method of operating the access point apparatus. The access point apparatus for configuring the next generation wireless communication may include a verification unit to verify a first available band associated with at least one of a first band and a second band; and a configuration unit to configure a backbone network with another access point apparatus positioned within a predetermined distance, through the verified first available band.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system is disclosed, in which the apparatus for OFDM transmission in the WLAN system includes a signal repetition unit to repeat an encoded signal based on a block unit and output the encoded signal and a repeated signal, an interleaver to interleave the encoded signal and the repeated signal and output an interleaved signal, a modulator to modulate the interleaved signal and output modulated symbols, and a phase rotation unit to phase shift the modulated symbols.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of sharing channel information performed by an access point (AP), the method including setting a master AP among adjacent APs, adjusting time stamp information on a point in time for communication based on a beacon received from the adjacent APs, estimating a carrier frequency offset (CFO) using a packet received from the master AP, and readjusting the time stamp information based on the estimated CFO.
