Method for allocating resources in wireless LAN system and wireless LAN system
Provided are a method of allocating resources in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system and the WLAN system including an access point (AP) to allocate a resource for communication between a relay and a station associated with the relay, the relay to allocate a restricted access window (RAW) or a slot for communication with a station based on the allocated resource, and the station to communicate with the relay based on the allocated RAW or the allocated slot.
1. A method for an access point (AP) in a wireless local area network, the method comprising:
generating restricted access window (RAW) parameters including information on a first RAW and information on a second RAW, wherein the information on the first RAW includes resource allocation information for at least one of a time domain or a frequency domain, and the information on the second RAW indicates that an access point (AP) neither transmits to nor receives from stations associated with the AP regardless of a type of station for a duration of the second RAW; and
transmitting the RAW parameters to the at least one station.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the information on the first RAW further includes information on at least one channel in which the at least one station is allowed to transmit for a duration of the first RAW.
3. A method for a station in a wireless local area network, the method comprising:
receiving restricted access window (RAW) parameters including information on a first RAW and information on a second RAW, wherein the information on the first RAW includes resource allocation information for at least one of a time domain or a frequency domain, and the information on the second RAW indicates that an access point (AP) neither transmits to nor receives from the station associated with the AP regardless of a type of station for a duration of the second RAW; and
performing channel access based on the RAW parameters.
4. An access point (AP) apparatus in a wireless local area network, the AP apparatus comprising:
a controller; and
a communication unit,
wherein the controller is configured to:
generate restricted access window (RAW) parameters including information on a first RAW and information on a second RAW, wherein the information on the first RAW includes resource allocation information for at least one of a time domain or a frequency domain, and the information on the second RAW indicates that an access point (AP) neither transmits to nor receives from stations associated with the AP regardless of a type of station for a duration of the second RAW; and
transmit, using the communication unit, the RAW parameters to the at least one station.
5. A station apparatus in a wireless local area network, the station apparatus comprising:
a controller; and
a communication unit,
wherein the controller is configured to:
receive, using the communication unit, restricted access window (RAW) parameters including information on a first RAW and information on a second RAW, wherein the information on the first RAW includes resource allocation information for at least one of a time domain or a frequency domain, and the information on the second RAW indicates that an access point (AP) neither transmits to nor receives from the station associated with the AP regardless of a type of station for a duration of the second RAW; and
perform channel access based on the RAW parameters.
