20110310815 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC STATION ENABLEMENT PROCEDURE - A method and an apparatus for Dynamic Station Enablement (DSE) procedure in a wireless local area network system are disclosed. For a method of enabling a dependent station to operate within a white space as an unlicensed device by an enabling station, the method comprises: transmitting, from the enabling station to the dependent station, an enabling signal to permit the dependent station to operate within a TV white space; transmitting, from the enabling station to the dependent station, a white space map element which indicates an available channel list in the TV white space such that the dependent station operates only within the available channels identified by the white space map element, wherein the white space map element is transmitted via one of a beacon frame, a probe response frame and a white space map announcement frame; and exchanging a DSE (dynamic station enablement) related message between the enabling station and the dependent station on one or more of the available channels identified by the white space map element. | 12-22-2011 |
20110310816 | METHOD AND APPARATUS OF OPERATING CHANNEL REQUEST AND RESPONDING TO THE OPERATING CHANNEL REQUEST IN A WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK SYSTEM - A method for operating channel request and responding to the operating channel request in a wireless local area network (WLAN) is disclosed. A method of operating channel request by a first station in a regulatory domain where an unlicensed device is permitted to operate at a given time in a given geographical area with regard to a licensed device in a wireless local area network (WLAN) comprises transmitting, to a second station, first frame including a first operating class field and a first channel number field, wherein the first operating class field indicates a number of an operating class of a first channel included in a first channel set for operating channel request and the first channel number field indicates a number of the first channel; and receiving, from the second station, second frame including a second operating class field and a second channel number field, wherein the second operating class field indicates a number of a operating class of a second channel included in a second channel set granted by the second station and the second channel number field indicates a number of the second channel. | 12-22-2011 |
20150208444 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACCESSING CHANNEL IN WIRELESS LAN - Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for accessing a channel in a wireless LAN. A method for a station (STA) initially accessing the channel in the wireless LAN comprises the steps of: the STA receiving from an access point (AP) a frame including channel state information and a set of an N (a natural number wherein N>1) number of access parameter sets; the STA selecting a random variable when the channel state information indicates that a wireless link is busy; the STA selecting one access parameter set from the N number of access parameter sets on the basis of the one access parameter and transmitting an association request frame to the AP. | 07-23-2015 |
20150230093 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACCESSING INITIAL CHANNEL IN WIRELESS LAN - A method for accessing an initial channel by a STA can comprise the steps of: the STA receiving, via a first band from a multiband AP, a scanning frame comprising a neighboring AP information element, wherein the neighboring AP information element comprises information for a second band which is an operating band for the neighboring AP; the STA determining whether accessing the neighboring AP is possible on the basis of information comprised in the neighboring AP information element regarding an access network type of the neighboring AP operating in the second band; if access to the neighboring AP is possible, the STA transmitting an association request frame to the neighboring AP via the second band, wherein the access network type can comprise information regarding an access permission type of a neighboring AP. | 08-13-2015 |
20150341961 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CHANNEL ACCESS IN WIRELESS LAN SYSTEM - The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for channel access in a wireless LAN system. To perform the abovementioned technical task, the method for performing channel access by a station (STA) in a wireless LAN system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, may comprise the steps of: deferring, if the channel is in an idle state, the transmission of a first frame until a second frame is detected from another station; and transmitting the first frame when the second frame is detected. | 11-26-2015 |
20150358786 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING GROUP ADDRESSED FRAME IN WLAN SYSTEM AND DEVICE THEREFOR - The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, more specifically, provides a method for transmitting/receiving a group addressed frame in a WLAN system and a device therefor. The method whereby a station (STA) in a WLAN system receives a group addressed frame according to one embodiment of the present invention may comprise the steps of: transmitting a first frame to an access point (AP); in response to the first frame, receiving from the AP a second frame comprising information related to the group addressed frame for a first STA; and receiving the group addressed frame from the AP on the basis of the information related to the group addressed frame. | 12-10-2015 |
20150365972 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING DOWNLINK IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transmitting a downlink in a wireless communication system. A method for transmitting the downlink in a WLAN comprises the steps of: an access point (AP) transmitting, to a plurality of stations (STA), each of a plurality of request to send (RTS) frames through each of a plurality of channels; and the AP receiving a clear to send (CTS) frame from at least one of the plurality of STAs through at least one channel from the plurality of channels, wherein each of the plurality of RTS frames may include channel information for indicating a channel to be used from among the plurality of channels when transmitting the downlink to each of the STAs, and identifier information for indicating the plurality of STAs. | 12-17-2015 |
20150373685 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING DATA IN MULTI-BSS - A communication method for an AP comprises the step of: the AP receiving multiple RTS frames from each of multiple STAs through each of multiple channels; the AP transmitting multiple CTS frames to the multiple STAs through each of multiple available channels from among the multiple channels; and the AP receiving multiple uplink data frames transmitted from each of the multiple STAs through each of the multiple available channels, wherein the AP communicates with the multiple STAs based on BSS1 and BSS2, wherein the BSS1 includes a primary channel band1 and secondary channel band1, the BSS2 includes a primary channel band2 and secondary channel band2, wherein the primary channel band1 overlaps with the secondary channel band2, the secondary channel band1 overlaps with the primary channel band2, and wherein the multiple channels can be included in the primary channel band1 and secondary channel band1. | 12-24-2015 |
