The enabler entity enables communication between the device and the manager entity and the manager entity exchanges information required for coexistence between enabler entities comprising the enabler entity. The event indication message includes type information indicating that the event indication message is for indicating that a specific device is detected by the device, the specific device operating on a frequency not permitted to the specific device. | 2013-06-27 |
20130163575 | CONTENTION BASED CHANNEL OCCUPYING METHOD IN WIRELESS NETWORK USING A PLURALITY OF CHANNELS - Disclosed is a contention based channel occupying method in a wireless network using a plurality of channels, including: acquiring, by terminals that are incapable of transmitting a data frame through primary contention, occupation channel information from a terminal that transmits the data frame through the primary contention; verifying, by the terminals, an occupiable channel based on the occupation channel information; and performing, by the terminals, secondary contention in the occupiable channel. | 2013-06-27 |
20130163576 | Communication Devices and Methods for Sending a Message - According to one embodiment, a communication device is described comprising a determining circuit configured to determine a measure based on the time necessary for the transmission of a message from the communication device to at least one other communication device, a comparing circuit configured to compare the determined measure with a predetermined threshold, a controller configured to decide whether the message should be sent using a collision protection mechanism based on the result of the comparison, a message generating circuit configured to generate the message and a transmitter configured to send the message in accordance with the decision. | 2013-06-27 |
