Method and apparaus for setting, transmitting and receiving data for virtual carrier sensing in wireless network communication

摘要

Methods and apparatuses for setting, transmitting, and receiving virtual carrier sensing information in wireless network communications are provided. A receiving station in a wireless communications network receives a frame transmitted according to various modulation schemes and extracts information concerning virtual carrier sensing from a portion of the frame modulated using a basic modulation scheme, so that virtual carrier sensing is achieved using the extracted virtual carrier sensing information.
