Operating method of access point (AP) and station for coexistence of basic service sets having different bandwidths

摘要

An operating method of an access point (AP) for a coexistence of basic service sets (BSSs) having different bandwidths includes detecting at least one of a first signal having a channel bandwidth of the AP and a second signal having a channel bandwidth narrower than the channel bandwidth of the AP, establishing a BSS having the channel bandwidth of the AP, based on a result of the detecting, and reporting the establishment of the BSS to an adjacent BSS.

1. An operating method of an access point (AP), the method comprising:
detecting, by an AP having a first bandwidth, an open channel by scanning channels based on a second bandwidth that is narrower than the first bandwidth; establishing a basic service set (BSS) in the open channel, the BSS having the first bandwidth; and reporting the establishment of the BSS to an adjacent BSS by consecutively transmitting a first beacon signal having the first bandwidth at a first transmission period and a second beacon signal having the second bandwidth at a second transmission period that is longer than the first transmission period.
