DIRECT MODE COMMUNICATION METHOD BETWEEN TWO MOBILE TERMINALS IN ACCESS POINT CONTROLLED WIRELESS LAN SYSTEMS

摘要

There is disclosed a Direct Mode (DM) communication method between two mobile terminals (MTs) in access point (AP) controlled WLAN systems. The DM connection scheme calls for establishing that an initiating MT and a remote MT are associated to the same AP; establishing that the remote MT supports a DM operation feature; sending, by the AP, address identifiers of the initiating and remote MTs to the remote and initiating MTs, respectively, including sending signal strength (RSS) measurements between the two MTs.
