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 (33)

1. A wireless communication terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor,

wherein the terminal receives a wireless signal through the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

extract length information from the wireless signal, wherein the length information represents duration of the wireless signal,

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

determine whether the wireless signal is a wireless signal of an overlapping BSS based on the extracted BSS identifier information, and

set a transmission opportunity (TXOP) of the terminal based on the extracted length information when the wireless signal is determined to be a wireless signal of an overlapping BSS.

2. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the TXOP of the terminal is limited to the duration of the wireless signal when the wireless signal is determined to be a wireless signal of an overlapping BSS.

3. The wireless communication terminal of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

measure a signal strength of the wireless signal,

determine a channel in which the wireless signal is received is busy when the measured signal strength is at or above a first threshold,

reset the determination that the channel is busy when the wireless signal is determined to be a wireless signal of an overlapping BSS and the measured signal strength is below a second threshold,

wherein the TXOP of the terminal is limited when the determination is reset.

4. The wireless communication terminal of claim 3 , wherein the second threshold has a value equal to or higher than the first threshold.

5. The wireless communication terminal of claim 2 , wherein the TXOP of the terminal is set to be terminated simultaneously or before the duration of the wireless signal.

6. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein information of the TXOP of the terminal is included in a non-legacy preamble of a wireless signal transmitted by the terminal.

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

receiving a wireless signal;

extracting length information from the wireless signal, wherein the length information represents duration of the wireless signal;

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

determining whether the wireless signal is a wireless signal of an overlapping BSS based on the extracted BSS identifier information; and

setting a transmission opportunity (TXOP) of the terminal based on the extracted length information when the wireless signal is determined to be a wireless signal of an overlapping BSS.

8. The wireless communication method of claim 7 , wherein the TXOP of the terminal is limited to the duration of the wireless signal when the wireless signal is determined to be a wireless signal of an overlapping BSS.

9. The wireless communication method of claim 8 , further comprising:

measuring a signal strength of the wireless signal;

determining a channel in which the wireless signal is received is busy when the measured signal strength is at or above a first threshold; and

resetting the determination that the channel is busy when the wireless signal is determined to be a wireless signal of an overlapping BSS and the measured signal strength is below a second threshold;

wherein the TXOP of the terminal is limited when the determination is reset.

10. The wireless communication method of claim 9 , wherein the second threshold has a value equal to or higher than the first threshold.

11. The wireless communication method of claim 8 , wherein the TXOP of the terminal is set to be terminated simultaneously or before the duration of the wireless signal.

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