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:
A method and system for managing a channel in a wireless local area network is disclosed. The method includes detecting adjacent access points, transmitting a resource allocation request frame including candidate channel information which the first access points wants to a master access point among the detected adjacent access points, receiving a resource allocation response frame which is a response with respect to the resource allocation request frame from the master access point, and configuring the BSS based on channel related information included in the resource allocation response frame. Accordingly, performance of the wireless local area network can be improved.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a technology that enables an access point, configured to manage a network, to control a transmission schedule of buffered data and enables a terminal to obtain information associated with the transmission schedule in a wireless local area network (WLAN) environment. An apparatus for controlling a transmission schedule of buffered data in a WLAN according to an embodiment may group terminals based on at least one of a service characteristic and a traffic characteristic of each of the terminals, assign group information to each of the grouped groups to wake up in a different time, and transmit at least one of delivery traffic indication map (DTIM) information and the buffered data based on the assigned group information.
Abstract:
An operating method of an access point (AP) for a coexistence of basic service sets (BSSs) having different bandwidths includes detecting at least one of a first signal having a channel bandwidth of the AP and a second signal having a channel bandwidth narrower than the channel bandwidth of the AP, establishing a BSS having the channel bandwidth of the AP, based on a result of the detecting, and reporting the establishment of the BSS to an adjacent BSS.
