Abstract:
Disclosed are a frame transmission method using a selective beamforming and a communication apparatus to perform the frame transmission method. The communication apparatus may determine a beamforming matrix based on classification information in which a plurality of subcarriers used for communication is classified into a plurality of frequency units, may map a long training field (LTF) sequence to the beamforming matrix, and transmit a beamforming training (BF-T) frame including the mapped LTF sequence to a plurality of stations, may receive, from the plurality of stations having receiving the BF-T frame, feedback information generated based on a reception strength of the BF-T frame, and may allocate frequency units to data frames to be transmitted to the plurality of stations based on the feedback information, and transmit the data frames using the allocated frequency units. The reception strength of the BF-T frame may be determined at each station for each frequency unit.
Abstract:
Provided is a data frame transmission method of a communication apparatus, the method including determining whether a transmission allowance condition of a data frame of the communication apparatus is satisfied when another communication apparatus occupies a channel, verifying an end time of another data frame transmitted by the other communication apparatus based on a result of the determining, and transmitting the data frame based on the verified end time.
Abstract:
Provided is a user identification method and apparatus in a multi-user wireless communication system, the method including generating first identification information by reflecting masking identification (ID) information to group ID information associated with a received signal, generating second identification information based on a correspondence relationship between the generated first identification information and possible group ID (PGU) information transferred from an available access point (AP), and determining a user position based on the generated second identification information.
