Method for connecting wireless channel and apparatus for performing the method

摘要

The method performed in the terminal includes generating a random value for wireless channel access, receiving a competitive index indicating a channel competition state from an access point, and determining whether to attempt a wireless channel access based on a comparison result between the random value and the competitive index.;Accordingly, in an environment in which a large number of wireless local area network (WLAN) terminals simultaneously attempt the wireless channel access, each terminal voluntarily restricts a wireless connection request in accordance with wireless channel environment information transmitted by an access point, that is, competitive indexes, and therefore wireless channel access competition may be alleviated, thereby improving a wireless connection speed of the terminal and reducing power consumption of the terminal.

1. A wireless channel access method which is performed in a terminal, comprising:
generating a random value for a wireless channel access; receiving a competitive index indicating a channel competition state from an access point; determining whether to attempt the wireless channel access based on a comparison result between the random value and the competitive index; and attempting the wireless channel access in response to the random value being greater than the competitive index, wherein the competitive index is a channel utilization value of a respective basic service set (BSS) load element, and the channel utilization value is of one byte length indicating a value corresponding to one of 0 to 255 steps.
