Method and apparatus for performing a channel availability query for a plurality of locations

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for channel availability query on multiple locations in a wireless local area network system. A method for a station (STA) to perform a channel query procedure in a wireless communication system comprises: transmitting, at a first STA corresponding to a channel availability query requesting STA, a first message to a second STA supporting the channel availability query procedure, wherein the second STA corresponds to a channel availability query responding STA, wherein the first message comprises device location information of one or more locations for the channel availability query; and receiving, at the first STA from the second STA, a second message comprising channel availability information, wherein the channel availability information is commonly applicable to multiple locations within an area, when the device location information of the first message is for the multiple location within the area.

1. A method for a station (STA) to perform a channel availability query procedure in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, at a first STA corresponding to a channel availability query requesting STA, a first message to a second STA supporting the channel availability query process, the second STA corresponding to a channel availability query responding STA, the first message comprising device location information of one or more locations for the channel availability query; and receiving, at the first STA from the second STA, a second message comprising channel availability information, wherein, when the device location information of the first message is for multiple locations within an area and the second message indicates that the channel availability information is commonly applicable to the multiple locations, the channel availability information is commonly applicable to the multiple locations within the area, and wherein, when the device location information of the first message is for the multiple locations within the area and there is no channel availability information commonly applicable to the multiple locations, the channel availability information is applicable to a first location among the multiple locations.
