Method and apparatus of peer link setting, and method and apparatus of channel switching, in wireless mesh network

摘要

A method and apparatus for configuring mesh peer link and a method and apparatus for switching channel in wireless mesh network are provided. A method of configuring a mesh peer link in a wireless mesh network includes a first mesh station transmitting a mesh peering open frame to a second mesh station, and the first mesh station receiving a mesh peering confirm frame from the second mesh station in response to the mesh peering open frame, wherein the first mesh station and the second mesh station support a very high throughput (VHT), and wherein the mesh peering open frame and the mesh peering confirm frame comprise a VHT capability information element.

1. A method of configuring a mesh peer link in a wireless mesh network, the method comprising:
a first mesh station transmitting a mesh peering open frame to a second mesh station; and the first mesh station receiving a mesh peering confirm frame from the second mesh station in response to the mesh peering open frame, wherein the first mesh station and the second mesh station support a very high throughput (VHT), wherein the mesh peering open frame and the mesh peering confirm frame each includes a VHT capability information element, and wherein each VHT capability information element includes at least one of an information element indicating a maximum MAC protocol data unit (MPDU) length, an information element indicating a channel bandwidth supported by a station, an information element indicating whether an encoded packet is received by a low density parity check (LDPC), an information element indicating whether a short guard interval (GI) is supported, an information element indicating whether reception of a Physical Layer Convergence Procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) using space time block coding (STBC) is supported, and an information element indicating whether a transmission opportunity (TXOP) power save mode is supported.
