Method for positioning NAN terminal in wireless LAN system, and device using same
A method and a device for positioning a NAN terminal in a wireless LAN system are provided. A first station receives, through a service discovery frame during a preset discovery window, allocation information of an available window for reporting a location estimate value of the first station, location information of a second station located within a distance of one hop from the first station, and location information of a third station located within a distance of at least one hop from the second station. The first station determines the location estimate value of the first station on the basis of the location information of the second station and the location information of the third station. The first station reports the location estimate value of the first station during a section indicated by the allocation information of the available window.
1. A method in a wireless LAN system, comprising:
receiving, by a first station, allocation information of an availability window for reporting a location estimate of the first station, location information of a second station located within a distance of one hop from the first station, and location information of a third station located within a distance of at least one hop from the second station through a service discovery frame during a preset discovery window;
determining, by the first station, a location estimate of the first station by using location information of the second station and location information of the third station; and
reporting, by the first station, the determined location estimate of the first station during a section indicated by allocation information of the availability window.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the location information of the second station includes MAC address, longitude, latitude, altitude, transmission power, and place name of the second station.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the location information of the third station includes MAC address, longitude, latitude, altitude, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication), RTD (Round Trip Delay), and place name of the third station.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein allocation information of the availability window is represented by a bitmap, and a section indicated by the allocation information of the availability window is configured by the bitmap after the preset discovery window is initiated.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second station and the third station are an anchor masters.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determined location estimate of the first station is reported through a service discovery frame.
7. A wireless device operating in a wireless LAN system, comprising:
a transceiver transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and
a processor connected to the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive allocation information of an availability window for reporting a location estimate of a first station, location information of a second station located within a distance of one hop from the first station, and location information of a third station located within a distance of at least one hop from the second station through a service discovery frame during a preset discovery window;
determine a location estimate of the first station by using the location information of the second station and the location information of the third station; and
report the determined location estimate of the first station during a section indicated by the allocation information of the availability window.
8. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the location information of the second station includes MAC address, longitude, latitude, altitude, transmission power, and place name of the second station.
9. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the location information of the third station includes MAC address, longitude, latitude, altitude, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication), RTD (Round Trip Delay), and place name of the third station.
10. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein allocation information of the availability window is represented by a bitmap, and a section indicated by the allocation information of the availability window is configured by the bitmap after the preset discovery window is initiated.
11. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the second station and the third station are an anchor masters.
12. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the determined location estimate of the first station is reported through a service discovery frame.
