Method and apparatus of accessing channel in wireless communication system

摘要

A method and apparatus of accessing a channel in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving a first frame including configuration information on a channel allocated from a bandwidth including a primary channel, a secondary channel and an extension channel from an access point (AP), and transmitting a second frame to the AP by using the allocated channel. The configuration information includes an extension channel offset element field that sets the extension channel as the offset of the primary channel.

1. A method for transmitting data in a wireless local area network, the method comprising:
configuring, by a non-access point (AP) station, a first bonding channel and a second bonding channel, the first bonding channel including a first primary channel and a first secondary channel, the second bonding channel including a second primary channel and a second secondary channel; determining, by the non-AP station, whether the first primary channel or the second primary channel is idle; and transmitting, by the non-AP station, data using the first bonding channel or the second bonding channel to a receiving station only after the non-AP station determines that the first primary channel or the second primary channel is idle, wherein the first primary channel is overlapped with the second primary channel, wherein the first secondary channel is adjacent to the first primary channel, but is not adjacent to the second secondary channel, and wherein transmitting the data comprises:
transmitting first data using the first bonding channel when the first primary channel and the first secondary channel are idle only after the non-AP station determines that the first primary channel is idle; andtransmitting second data using the second bonding channel when the second primary channel and the second secondary channel are idle only after the non-AP station determines that the second primary channel is idle, wherein the first primary channel and the second primary channel have a same bandwidth, wherein each of the first primary channel and the second primary channel has a bandwidth of 20 MHz, and wherein the first secondary channel has a bandwidth of 40 MHz and the second secondary channel has a bandwidth of 20 MHz.
