Reuse of space in multi-ap system
A method performed by a sharing access point (AP) of a wireless local area network (LAN) system may comprise the steps of: transmitting, to a shared AP, a first station (STA) list and a first measurement notification frame which requests measurement of received signal strength indicators (RSSIs) of signals transmitted from first STAs included in the first STA list; transmitting, to each of the first STAs, a request frame which requests information related to transmission power of the signals transmitted by the first STAs; receiving a report frame including the information related to the transmission power from each of the first STAs; transmitting a multi-AP transmission trigger frame to the shared AP; and transmitting data to each of the first STAs.
1. A method performed by a sharing access point (AP) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, the method comprising:
receiving a management frame from a shared AP, wherein the management frame includes an information element related to a Multi-AP capability of the shared AP, wherein the information element indicates at least one of coordinated spatial reuse (Co-SR) or coordinated beamforming (Co-BF);
based on the information element indicating the Co-SR, transmitting, to the shared AP, a first station (STA) list and a first measurement announcement frame for requesting measurement of a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of a signal transmitted from at least one first STA comprised in the first STA list;
transmitting, to the at least one first STA, a request frame for requesting information related to transmission power of the signal transmitted by the at least one first STA;
receiving a report frame comprising the information related to the transmission power from the at least one first STA;
transmitting a multi-AP transmission trigger frame to the shared AP; and
transmitting data to the at least one first STA.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the report frame further comprises an acceptable receiver interference level (ARIL) value of the at least one first STA.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first STA is associated with the sharing AP.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a second STA list and a second measurement announcement frame for requesting measurement of an received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of a signal transmitted from at least one second STA comprised in the second STA list from the shared AP.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first measurement announcement frame further comprises an acceptable receiver interference level (ARIL) value of the at least one first STA.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second measurement announcement frame further comprises an acceptable receiver interference level (ARIL) value of the at least one second STA, and
wherein transmission power of the data is determined based on the ARIL value of the at least one second STA.
7. A sharing access point (AP) used in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, the sharing AP comprising:
a transceiver to transmit and receive a radio signal; and
a processor connected to the transceiver,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a management frame from a shared AP, wherein the management frame includes an information element related to a Multi-AP capability of the shared AP, wherein the information element indicates at least one of coordinated spatial reuse (Co-SR) or coordinated beamforming (Co-BF);
based on the information element indicating the Co-SR, transmit, to the shared AP a first station (STA) list and a first measurement announcement frame for requesting measurement of a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of a signal transmitted from at least one first STA comprised in the first STA list;
transmit, to the at least one first STA, a request frame for requesting information related to transmission power of the signal transmitted by the at least one first STA;
receive a report frame comprising the information related to the transmission power from the at least one first STA;
transmit a multi-AP transmission trigger frame to the shared AP; and
transmit data to the at least one first STA.
8. The sharing AP of claim 7 , wherein the report frame further comprises an acceptable receiver interference level (ARIL) value of the at least one first STA.
9. The sharing AP of claim 7 , wherein the at least one first STA is associated with the sharing AP.
10. The sharing AP of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive a second STA list and a second measurement announcement frame for requesting measurement of an received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of a signal transmitted from at least one second STA comprised in the second STA list from the shared AP.
11. The sharing AP of claim 7 , wherein the first measurement announcement frame further comprises an acceptable receiver interference level (ARIL) value of the at least one first STA.
12. The sharing AP of claim 10 , wherein the second measurement announcement frame further comprises an acceptable receiver interference level (ARIL) value of the at least one second STA, and
wherein transmission power of the data is determined based on the ARIL value of the at least one second STA.
