Method and apparatus for transmitting frame in wireless local area network (WLAN) system

摘要

A frame transmission method, for receiving data in a wireless local area network. A destination station establishes a direct link with a source station. The destination station receives a first physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) from the source station via the direct link. The destination station receives a second PPDU from a relay station via a relay link. In addition, the second PPDU is received by the relay station from the source station and is forwarded by the relay station to the destination station. Furthermore, the first PPDU includes a sequence field indicating that the second PPDU is to be transmitted via the relay link.

1. A method for receiving data in a wireless local area network, the method comprising:
establishing, by a destination station, a direct link with a source station; establishing, by the destination station, a relay link with a relay station; receiving, by the destination station, a first physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) from the source station via the direct link; and receiving, by the destination station, a second PPDU from the relay station via the relay link, wherein the second PPDU is received by the relay station from the source station and is forwarded by the relay station to the destination station, wherein the first PPDU includes a sequence field indicating that the second PPDU is to be transmitted via the relay link, and wherein the establishing the relay link with the relay station includes:
receiving, by the destination station, a relay request message from the relay station to request a setup for the relay link, the relay request message including information about an association identifier (AID) of the relay station and an AID of the destination station; andtransmitting, by the destination station, a relay response message to the relay station to indicate that the destination station is willing to participate in the relay link.
