A method and an apparatus for allocating a flexible transmission slot in a wireless local area network (LAN) system are disclosed. A flexible transmission slot allocation method of an access point (AP) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system according to an exemplary embodiment includes transmitting a beacon including a traffic indication map (TIM) bit to a station, receiving a power save poll (PS-Poll) from the station in a slot implicitly allocated by the TIM bit, and transmitting an acknowledgement (ACK) including transmission slot allocation information on downlink data to the station.

Method and apparatus for allocating flexible transmission slot in wireless LAN system

An apparatus and method for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system is disclosed, in which the apparatus for OFDM transmission in the WLAN system includes a signal repetition unit to repeat an encoded signal based on a block unit and output the encoded signal and a repeated signal, an interleaver to interleave the encoded signal and the repeated signal and output an interleaved signal, a modulator to modulate the interleaved signal and output modulated symbols, and a phase rotation unit to phase shift the modulated symbol.

OFDM transmission method and device in wireless LAN system

An operating mode change method of a wireless local area network (WLAN) system according to an exemplary embodiment includes transmitting, by a station (STA) to an access point (AP), an operating mode change request frame comprising at least one of information on a change of a traffic indication map (TIM) mode, a request for a change of a power save parameter, and information on a change of a service type of the STA, receiving, from the AP, an operating mode change response frame comprising at least one of a TIM mode allowed by the AP, a reallocated association identification (AID), and information on a changed power save parameter, and performing at least one of the change of the TIM mode and the change of the power save parameter based on the information included in the operating mode change.

Method for changing operating mode of wireless LAN system and wireless LAN system

The present invention relates to a terminal for requesting and acquiring information relating to channel access in a wireless LAN, and to an apparatus for providing information relating to channel access in a wireless LAN. The terminal for requesting and acquiring information relating to channel access in a wireless LAN according to one embodiment of the invention verifies the reception of a beacon during a preset beacon interval, if it is verified that the beacon has not been received, transmits a group and slot information request signal, and receives, from an access point, a group and slot information response signal as a response to the group and slot information request signal.

Method and terminal for requesting and acquiring information relating to channel access in wireless LAN, and apparatus for providing information relating to channel access in wireless LAN

A scanning method performed by a station (STA) in a wireless LAN system is provided. The method comprises: transmitting a probe request frame; and receiving a short probe response frame from an access point (AP) as a response to the probe request frame. The short probe response frame includes service set ID (SSID) information or compressed SSID information of the AP.

Scanning method in wireless LAN system and supporting device therefor

Provided is slot use control apparatus and method, including an access point (AP) to control a slotted channel access of a station (STA) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) includes generating a synchronization (synch) frame including an identification value indicating an STA allocated to a slot, and broadcasting the generated synch frame when a channel is in an idle state at a start point of the slot.

Apparatus and method for controlling slot usage

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for an access point (AP) to control channel access of a station in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system. An AP according to one embodiment may determine resource allocation information for protecting a resource for a station not referring to traffic indication map (TIM) information. The determined resource allocation information is transmitted to a station referring to the TIM information, and the station referring to the TIM information does not conduct channel access in a time period specified in the resource allocation information.

Method and apparatus for controlling channel access in wireless local area network (WLAN) system

An apparatus and method for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system is disclosed, in which the apparatus for OFDM transmission in the WLAN system includes a signal repetition unit to repeat an encoded signal based on a block unit and output the encoded signal and a repeated signal, an interleaver to interleave the encoded signal and the repeated signal and output an interleaved signal, a modulator to modulate the interleaved signal and output modulated symbols, and a phase rotation unit to phase shift the modulated symbols.

An apparatus and a method of controlling slot-based channel access by an access point (AP) to manage a network in a wireless local area network (WLAN) environment and a slot-based channel access terminal are disclosed. A slot-based channel access control apparatus of a WLAN system according to an exemplary embodiment determines one of each terminal and a group of terminals as a slot allocation target, allocates a slot defined in a beacon interval to the determined terminal or group to distinguish channel access time, and transmits a beacon including information on the allocated slot.

Device and method for controlling slot-based channel system, and slot-based channel access terminal in wireless LAN

A scanning method performed by a station (STA) in a wireless LAN system is provided. The method comprises: transmitting a probe request frame; and receiving a short probe response frame from an access point (AP) as a response to the probe request frame. The short probe response frame includes service set ID (SSID) information or compressed

Provided are a terminal for requesting and acquiring information associated with a channel access in a wireless local area network (WLAN) and an apparatus for providing information associated with a channel access in a WLAN, and more particularly, the terminal for requesting and acquiring information associated with a channel access in a WLAN according to an example embodiment may verify whether a beacon is received during a predetermined beacon interval, transmit a group and slot information request signal when the beacon is verified not to be received, and receive a group and slot information response signal in response to the group and slot information request signal.
