Abstract

A wireless communication system according to the present disclosure includes an access point (AP) and a terminal (STA) that belong to a BSS. The AP and the STA adaptively disable OBSS_PD-based SR.

Claims (24)

1. An access point comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

at least one processor configured to process the instructions to:

control a spatial reuse operation for an interference management between a Basic Service Set (BSS) and an Overlapping BSS (OBSS) in a dense deployment scenario, and

send a signal, which is a data unit related to a physical layer, to indicate that the spatial reuse operation is not prohibited,

wherein the signal also indicates to turn off both a Basic Network Allocation Vector and an intra-BSS Network Allocation Vector, and

wherein the Basic Network Allocation Vector is different from the intra-BSS Network Allocation Vector.

2. A communication apparatus comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

at least one processor configured to process the instructions to:

perform a spatial reuse operation for an interference management between a Basic Service Set (BSS) and an Overlapping BSS (OBSS) in a dense deployment scenario,

receive a signal, which is a data unit related to a physical layer, to indicate that the spatial reuse operation is not prohibited, and

turn off both a Basic Network Allocation Vector and an Intra-BSS Network Allocation Vector based on the signal, and

wherein the Basic Network Allocation Vector is different from the intra-BSS Network Allocation Vector.

3. A communication method performed by an access point, the communication method comprising:

controlling a spatial reuse operation for an interference management between a Basic Service Set (BSS) and an Overlapping BSS (OBSS) in a dense deployment scenario; and

sending a signal, which is a data unit related to a physical layer, to indicate that the spatial reuse operation is not prohibited,

wherein the signal also indicates to turn off both a Basic Network Allocation Vector and an intra-BSS Network Allocation Vector, and

wherein the Basic Network Allocation Vector is different from the intra-BSS Network Allocation Vector.

4. A communication method performed by a communication apparatus, the communication method comprising:

performing a spatial reuse operation for an interface management between a Basic Service Set (BSS) and an Overlapping BSS (OBSS) in a dense deployment scenario;

receiving a signal, which is a data unit related to a physical layer, to indicate that the spatial reuse operation is not prohibited; and

turning off both a Basic Network Allocation Vector and an intra-BSS Network Allocation Vector based on the signal, and

wherein the Basic Network Allocation Vector is different from the intra-BSS Network Allocation Vector.
