Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication method for simultaneous data communication and a wireless communication terminal using the same, and more particularly, to a wireless communication method for suppressing interference between terminals and ensuring fairness when performing data simultaneous communication for spatial reuse of communication system and wireless communication terminal using the same. For this, provided are a wireless communication method and a wireless communication terminal using the same. The method includes: receiving a wireless signal of a specific channel; extracting basic service set (BSS) identifier information of the received wireless signal; extracting length information from the wireless signal wherein the length information represents information relating to a transmission completion time point of the wireless signal; and adjusting a data transmission period of the terminal based on the extracted length information, when the BSS identifier information of the wireless signal is different from BSS identifier information of the terminal.

Claims (35)

1. A wireless communication method of a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving a wireless signal of a specific channel;

extracting basic service set (BSS) identifier information of the received wireless signal;

extracting length information from the wireless signal wherein the length information represents information relating to a transmission completion time point of the wireless signal; and

adjusting a data transmission period of the terminal based on the extracted length information, when the BSS identifier information of the wireless signal is different from BSS identifier information of the terminal.

2. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , further comprising:

measuring a signal strength of the wireless signal; and

determining whether the specific channel is busy based on the measured signal strength and the extracted BSS identifier information,

wherein the data transmission period is adjusted when the specific channel is determined to be in an idle state and the terminal accesses the specific channel.

3. The wireless communication method of claim 2 , wherein the determining of whether the specific channel is busy is performed based on clear channel assessment (CCA) for the specific channel, and a CCA threshold used for the CCA is set to different levels according to whether the BBS identifier information of the wireless signal is the same as the BSS identifier information of the terminal.

4. The wireless communication method of claim 3 , wherein when the BBS identifier information of the wireless signal is the same as the BSS identifier information of the terminal, a first CCA threshold is used for the CCA and when the BBS identifier information of the wireless signal is different from the BSS identifier information of the terminal, a second CCA threshold having a higher level than the first CCA threshold is used for the CCA.

5. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the data transmission period is adjusted to be terminated simultaneously or before the transmission completion time point of the wireless signal according to the extracted length information.

6. The wireless communication method of claim 5 , wherein the data transmission period is adjusted to be terminated before the transmission completion time point of the wireless signal by more than a sum value of a short inter frame space (SIFS) time and a time required for transmission of a response message.

7. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the data transmission period represents a transmission opportunity (TXOP) of the terminal.

8. The wireless communication method of claim 7 , wherein information of a TXOP of a terminal is included in a non-legacy preamble of a wireless signal.

9. The wireless communication method of claim 8 , wherein the length information is information obtained from at least one of a legacy preamble, a non-legacy preamble, and a MAC header of the wireless signal.

10. A wireless communication terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal; and

a processor configured to control an operation of the terminal,

wherein the terminal receives a wireless signal of a specific channel through the transceiver,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

extract basic service set (BSS) identifier information of the received wireless signal,

extract length information from the wireless signal, wherein the length information represents information relating to a transmission completion time point of the wireless signal, and

adjust a data transmission period of the terminal based on the extracted length information, when the BSS identifier information of the wireless signal is different from BSS identifier information of the terminal.

11. The wireless communication terminal of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

measure a signal strength of the wireless signal, and

determine whether the specific channel is busy based on the measured signal strength and the extracted BSS identifier information,

wherein the data transmission period is adjusted when the specific channel is determined to be in an idle state and the terminal accesses the specific channel.

12. The wireless communication terminal of claim 11 , wherein the determining of whether the specific channel is busy is performed based on clear channel assessment (CCA) for the specific channel, and a CCA threshold used for the CCA is set to different levels according to whether the BBS identifier information of the wireless signal is the same as the BSS identifier information of the terminal.

13. The wireless communication terminal of claim 12 , wherein when the BBS identifier information of the wireless signal is the same as the BSS identifier information of the terminal, a first CCA threshold is used for the CCA and when the BBS identifier information of the wireless signal is different from the BSS identifier information of the terminal, a second CCA threshold having a higher level than the first CCA threshold is used for the CCA.

14. The wireless communication terminal of claim 10 , wherein the data transmission period is adjusted to be terminated simultaneously or before the transmission completion time point of the wireless signal according to the extracted length information.

15. The wireless communication terminal of claim 14 , wherein the data transmission period is adjusted to be terminated before the transmission completion time point of the wireless signal by more than a sum value of a short inter frame space (SIFS) time and a time required for transmission of a response message.

16. The wireless communication terminal of claim 10 , wherein the data transmission period represents a transmission opportunity (TXOP) of the terminal.

17. The wireless communication terminal of claim 16 , wherein information of a TXOP of a terminal is included in a non-legacy preamble of a wireless signal.

18. The wireless communication terminal of claim 17 , wherein the length information is information obtained from at least one of a legacy preamble, a non-legacy preamble, and a MAC header of the wireless signal.
