A method and apparatus for transmitting frames in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), each station in the WLAN determines whether there is another station in a hidden state. The station transmits a frame to an Access Point (AP) without performing an Request To Send/Clear To Send (RTS/CTS) mechanism when there is another station in a hidden state, thereby improving use efficiency of the wireless network and minimizing frame transmission delay.

Transmitting frames in wireless local area network (WLAN)

Disclosed are a system and method for controlling transmission power in a wireless local area network (WLAN), and more particularly, a system and method for controlling transmission power in a WLAN that are capable of providing a WLAN service to terminals outside a service area by controlling the transmission power in the WLAN. Thus, link margin data of a station positioned at a hidden node of the WLAN is received from another station positioned in a service area, and the received link margin data is compared with preset link margin data for control of the transmission power in the WLAN.
