Embodiments provide a method for accessing a wireless local area network, a station, and an access point. The method includes: receiving, by a station, a beacon or a probe response from an access point, where the beacon or the probe response carries configuration version information; and executing, by the station, a GAS query according to the configuration version information carried in the beacon or the probe response. In embodiments, the access point sends the configuration version information to the station, so that the station executes the GAS query according to the configuration version information.

Wireless local area network, station, and access point and methods for accessing thereof

A data feedback method includes acquiring, by the beamformee, the number of columns from a null data packet announcement (NDPA) message; detecting the number of active first spatial streams; comparing the number of first spatial streams with the number of columns, and taking the smaller value obtained from the comparison as the number of second spatial streams required for feedback; and feeding back the number of second spatial streams and spatial stream measurement information about the second spatial streams to the beamformer.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for accessing a wireless local area network, a station, and an access point. The method includes: receiving, by a station, a beacon or a probe response from an access point, where the beacon or the probe response carries configuration version information; and executing, by the station, a GAS query according to the configuration version information carried in the beacon or the probe response. In the embodiments of the present invention, the access point sends the configuration version information to the station, so that the station executes the GAS query according to the configuration version information, thereby improving access efficiency.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a feedback method for active scanning of a user terminal and an access point, and relate to the field of communications, where a timer is set in the access point, and after the timer reaches preset time, buffered probe response message can be cleared, thereby further reducing an overhead of channel resources. The feedback method includes: receiving a probe request message from a user terminal, where the probe request message includes scanning time preset by the user terminal; generating and buffering a probe response message of the probe request message; setting and starting a timer corresponding to the user terminal according to the received scanning time preset by the user terminal; and clearing the buffered probe response message after determining that the timer reaches the preset scanning time and the probe response message is not sent to the user terminal.

Feedback method for active scanning of user terminal, and access point

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, apparatus, and system for measurement for D2D communication, used to reduce blindness of measurement in a mechanism of D2D communication between terminals. The method in an embodiment of the present invention includes: sending directly or forwarding, by an access point to a wireless network management entity, a consulting message for D2D communication between terminals; requesting the wireless network management entity to calculate a performance evaluation parameter for D2D communication between the terminals, so as to evaluate feasibility of measurement for D2D communication between the terminals; determining, according to a received performance evaluation parameter for D2D communication between the terminals, to perform the measurement for D2D communication between the terminals, and performing measurement configuration for the terminals; and determining, according to a result of the measurement for D2D communication between the terminals, to perform D2D communication between the terminals.
