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)

A system of a wireless local area network (LAN) based on transmit power control comprises: an access point (AP) for broadcasting a beacon frame to an area that is outside a service coverage of a first transmit power by using a second transmit power higher than the first transmit power already set when it reaches a set period, and for increasing the first transmit power if there is a request for increase of the first transmit power based on the beacon frame broadcast by the second transmit power; and a station which requests an increase in the first transmit power on the basis of the received beacon frame so as to enable the station to have an association with the AP. The increase is requested when the station receives the beacon frame broadcast from the AP with the second transmit power when the station is outside the service coverage of the first transmit power. The AP periodically transmits a strong beacon frame having local maximum transmit power (LMTP), and then provides a station existing outside the transmit power coverage of a current AP with basic service set (BSS) information. In this way, a newly approaching station can be provided with a basis for associating and communicating with the BSS with ease.
