Abstract

In a method of registering with an access point in a terminal of a wireless communication system, a frame includes a downlink sub-frame including a broadcast interval and a first management connection interval, and an uplink sub-frame including an access interval and a second management connection interval, the broadcast interval being used for transmitting a map message, the method includes: sending a first ranging request message to the access point using the access interval; receiving allocation information of a ranging slot from the access point using the map message; performing ranging through the ranging slot; sending a registration request message to the access point using the second management connection interval; and receiving information on whether to permit the registering from the access point using the first management connection interval.

Claims (28)

1. A method of registering with an access point in a terminal of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

sending a first ranging request message to the access point using an access interval of an uplink sub-frame of a frame of a plurality of frames, wherein the access interval is used to send the first ranging request message to the access point on a contention basis;

receiving a first ranging response message allocating a ranging slot from the access point using a map message of a downlink sub-frame of a frame of the plurality of frames;

sending a second ranging request message to the access point using the allocated ranging slot;

receiving a second ranging response message from the access point;

after receiving the second ranging response message, sending a registration request message to the access point using a second management connection interval of a frame of the plurality of frames; and

receiving information on whether to permit the registering from the access point using a first management connection interval of a frame of the plurality of frames,

wherein each frame of the plurality of frames comprises a downlink sub-frame and an uplink sub-frame, wherein the downlink sub-frame includes a broadcast interval and a first management connection interval, and the uplink sub-frame includes an access interval and a second management connection interval, the broadcast interval being used for transmitting a map message.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the access interval is an interval in which data from two or more terminals are allowed to collide.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving the map message from the access point using the broadcast interval before sending the first ranging request message.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the

receiving the second ranging response message comprises receiving the second ranging response message from the access point using the first management connection interval.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the registration request message comprises information on at least one of authentication, transmission rate and capability.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending a ranging slot request message to the access point using the second management connection interval;

receiving the map message including information on a reallocated ranging slot from the access point;

sending a second ranging request message to the access point using the reallocated ranging slot; and

receiving a ranging response message from the access point using the first management connection interval.

7. A non-transitory computer program product comprising a computer readable computer program code for executing a method of registering with an access point in a terminal of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

sending a first ranging request message to the access point using an access interval of an uplink sub-frame of a frame of a plurality of frames, wherein the access interval is used to send the first ranging request message to the access point on a contention basis;

receiving a first ranging response message allocating a ranging slot from the access point using a map message of a downlink sub-frame of a frame of the plurality of frames;

sending a second ranging request message to the access point using the allocated ranging slot;

receiving a second ranging response message from the access point;

after receiving the second ranging response message, sending a registration request message to the access point using a second management connection interval of a frame of the plurality of frames; and

receiving information on whether to permit the registering from the access point using a first management connection interval of a frame of the plurality of frames,

wherein each frame of the plurality of frames comprises a downlink sub-frame and an uplink sub-frame, wherein the downlink sub-frame includes a broadcast interval and a first management connection interval, and the uplink sub-frame includes an access interval and a second management connection interval, the broadcast interval being used for transmitting a map message.

8. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the access interval is an interval in which data from two or more terminals are allowed to collide.

9. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises receiving the map message from the access point using the broadcast interval before sending the first ranging request message.
