Method and apparatus for transmitting or receiving information relating to link in wireless LAN system
A method performed by a first STA in a wireless local area network (WLAN) according to various embodiments may comprise transmitting or receiving a TWT setup request message and a TWT setup response message. The first STA may perform a TWT operation on the basis of the TWT setup request message and the TWT setup response message. The TWT setup request message and the TWT setup response message may be transmitted or received through a first link included in multiple links. The first STA may set the first link to be in an awake state in order to perform the TWT operation through the first link.
1. A method performed by a first station (STA) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a second STA, a target wake time (TWT) setup request message,
wherein the TWT setup request message includes information related to whether the first STA supports TWT operation in a multi-link;
receiving, from the second STA, a TWT setup response message, in response to the TWT setup request message,
wherein the TWT setup response message includes information related to a link on which the TWT operation is performed by the first STA;
determining an operating state of the first STA based on the TWT setup response message;
transmitting, to the second STA, a control frame in response to the TWT setup response message;
after receiving, from the second STA, an ACK frame for the control frame, changing a first link included in the multi-link to a doze state; and
changing the first link from the doze state to an awake state based on the TWT setup response message.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TWT setup request message includes information related to a link in which the first STA supports the TWT operation.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TWT setup response message includes information related to a TWT Service Period (SP) for the first STA,
wherein the TWT SP is a time interval during which the first STA maintains an awake state.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TWT setup request message and the TWT setup response message are transmitted and received through the same link.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises,
receiving information related to a TWT Service Period (SP) for a second link included in the multi-link after changing the first link to an awake state.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multi-link includes a first link and a second link,
wherein the first link and the second link are included in any one of a 2.4 GHz band, a 5 GHz band, or a 6 GHz band.
7. A first station (STA) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, the first STA comprising:
a transceiver to transmit and receive radio signals; and
a processor to control the transceiver,
wherein the processor is configured to:
transmit, to a second STA, a target wake time (TWT) setup request message,
wherein the TWT setup request message includes information related to whether the first STA supports TWT operation in a multi-link;
receive, from the second STA, a TWT setup response message, in response to the TWT setup request message,
wherein the TWT setup response message includes information related to a link on which the TWT operation is performed by the first STA;
determine an operating state of the first STA based on the TWT setup response message;
transmit, to the second STA, a control frame in response to the TWT setup response message;
after receiving, from the second STA, an ACK frame for the control frame, change a first link included in the multi-link to a doze state; and
change the first link from the doze state to an awake state based on the TWT setup response message.
8. The first STA of claim 7 , wherein the TWT setup request message includes information related to a link in which the first STA supports the TWT operation.
9. The first STA of claim 7 , wherein the TWT setup response message includes information related to a TWT Service Period (SP) for the first STA,
wherein the TWT SP is a time interval during which the first STA maintains an awake state.
10. The first STA of claim 7 , wherein the TWT setup request message and the TWT setup response message are transmitted and received through the same link.
11. The first STA of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to,
receive information related to a TWT Service Period (SP) for a second link included in the multi-link after changing the first link to an awake state.
12. The first STA of claim 7 ,
wherein the multi-link includes a first link and a second link,
wherein the first link and the second link are included in any one of a 2.4 GHz band, a 5 GHz band, or a 6 GHz band.
