Abstract:
A method and apparatus for configuring mesh peer link and a method and apparatus for switching channel in wireless mesh network are provided. A method of configuring a mesh peer link in a wireless mesh network includes a first mesh station transmitting a mesh peering open frame to a second mesh station, and the first mesh station receiving a mesh peering confirm frame from the second mesh station in response to the mesh peering open frame, wherein the first mesh station and the second mesh station support a very high throughput (VHT), and wherein the mesh peering open frame and the mesh peering confirm frame comprise a VHT capability information element.
Abstract:
In the present invention, data generated from a source unit are distributed to at least one bandwidth; the data distributed to the respective bandwidths are encoded in order to perform an error correction; the encoded data are distributed to at least one antenna; a subcarrier is allocated to the data distributed to the respective antennas, and an inverse Fourier transform is performed; a short preamble and a first long preamble corresponding to the subcarrier are generated; a signal symbol is generated according to a data transmit mode; and a frame is generated by adding a second long preamble between the signal symbol and a data field for the purpose of estimating a channel of a subcarrier which is not used.
Abstract:
A channel sounding method in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system and an apparatus supporting the same are provided. A method of performing a sounding operation by an access point (AP) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) includes: generating a beamforming report (BR) poll frame including a sounding sequence; transmitting the BR poll frame to a station (STA); and selectively performing transmission beamforming on the station according to whether or not the BR frame is received from the station before a predetermined timeout. Transmission of an erroneous BR frame in case that a beam receiver fails to receive an null data packet announcement (NDPA) and an null data packet (NDP) is eliminated and a degradation of transmission efficiency is prevented.
