Abstract

A method and device for configuring a link in a wireless LAN system are disclosed. The wireless link configuration method comprises the steps of: acquiring a first probe request message transmitted by a first mobile terminal; delaying the transmission of a second probe request message when the first probe request message is similar to the second probe request message which is prepared for transmission by a second mobile terminal; receiving a probe response message, which is a response to the first probe request message, from a wireless access device; and withdrawing the transmission of the second probe request message when information included in the probe response message satisfies requirements of the second mobile terminal. Therefore, a time for configuring a link between wireless LAN devices can be reduced.

The BSS 211 or 221 is a set of stations which can communicate with each other, and managed by an access point (AP) 210 or 220. A mobile station (MS) 110 or 120 may perform a role of providing wireless internet services to a user by accessing the AP 210 or 220 according to IEEE 802.11 WLAN standards. The BSS 211 or 221 may be classified into an infrastructure BSS and an independent BSS, and the infrastructure BSS is illustrated in FIG. 1. The BSS-1 211 is managed and operated by the AP-1 210, and one or more MSs including MS-1 110 and MS-2 120 may receive WLAN services through the AP-1 210. Also, the AP-1 210 is connected to the AP-2 220 through a distribution system (DS) 300. The BSSs 211 and 221 connected through the DS 300 may form an extended service set (ESS) 410. Since the detail of configurations of WLAN systems is described in the standard specifications such as IEEE 802.11-2012 (Mar. 29, 202), explanation on the detail will be omitted herein. The contents of the standard specifications may be combined to the present description for reference.
  • FIG. 2 conceptually illustrate a step in which MS configures a link with AP according to an example embodiment of the present invention.
  • Referring to FIG. 2, a procedure for MS 100 to access AP 200 may comprise three steps—scanning, authentication, and association. The scanning step is a step in which the MS 100 obtains access information of a BSS operated by the AP 200. For the scanning, there are a passive scanning technique S101 that obtains information by using beacon messages which are periodically transmitted by the AP, and an active scanning technique in which the MS transmits a probe request to the AP (S103), receives a probe response from the AP (S105), and obtains access information from the probe response.
  • The MS 100 which successfully receives the wireless access information in the scanning step may perform the authentication step by transmitting an authentication request (S107 a) and receiving an authentication response (S107 b). After successful completion of the authentication step in the IEEE 802.11 layer, the association step (S109 a and S109 b) may be performed. In addition, authentication based on 802.1X (S111) and a step of obtaining IP address through DHCP (S113) may be performed.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a passive scanning step of MS related to an example embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the MS-1 110 according to the present invention may obtain wireless access information or respective APs by receiving beacon message which are periodically transmitted by AP-1 210 and AP-2 220 located adjacently.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an active scanning step of MS related to an example embodiment of the present invention.
  • Referring to FIG. 4, the MS-1 110 according to the present invention may transmits a probe request message to obtain information of APs located adjacently, and obtain wireless access information of respective APs by receiving the corresponding probe response messages from AP-1 210 and AP-2 220.

  • Referring to FIG. 5, the MS 100 according to the present invention may comprise at least one network interface cards (NIC) 111 to 119 performing a WLAN access through an AP. The network interface cards 111 to 119, modules for performing WLAN access, may be embedded within the MS or installed in outside of the MS. The network interface cards 111 to 119 may perform wireless communications with the AP according to respective supported WLAN specifications. Also, among the network interface cards 111 to 119, only one NIC may operate at a time or a plurality of NICs may simultaneously operate according to performance of the MS 100 or system requirements. In the MS 100 of FIG. 5, the multiple NICs 111 to 119 are illustrated as separated, and MAC and PHY layers of each NIC may operate independently from each other. These NICs 111 to 119 may be implemented as a functional entity which can be separated physically or as a single integrated physical entity.
  • A mobile communication module 120 may make the MS 100 transmit and receive wireless signals to/from an external device in a mobile communication network.
  • A user interface part 130 may make commands for controlling the MS 100 be input by a user. A display part 140 may display results from operations of the MS 100, status of the MS 100, and information provided by the AP.
  • A memory part 150 may store access program codes for controlling access to the AP, and various data for the program codes.

  • FIG. 6 is a block diagram which conceptually illustrates an access point 200 related to an example embodiment of the present invention.
  • Referring to FIG. 6, the AP 200 according to the present invention may comprise at least one network interface cards (NIC) 211 to 219 for operating BSS in one or more frequency bands. The network interface cards 211 to 219, modules for performing WLAN access, may be embedded within the AP 200 or installed in outside of the AP 200. The NICs 211 to 219 may perform wireless communications with the MS according to respective supported WLAN specifications. Also, among the network interface cards 211 to 219, only one NIC may operate at a time or a plurality of NICs may simultaneously operate according to performance of the AP 200 or system requirements. In the AP 200 of FIG. 6, a plurality of NICs 211 to 219 are illustrated as separated, and MAC and PHY layers of each NIC may operate independently from each other. These NICs 211 to 219 may be implemented as a functional entity which can be separated physically or as a single integrated physical entity.
  • A memory part 250 may store access program codes for controlling access from mobile stations, and various data for the program codes. A control part 260 may perform a role of controlling each of the NICs 211 to 219 to make the AP 200 process access from MS through an appropriate frequency band by using access information for multiple frequency bands and user/system requirements.
  • FIG. 7 is a flow chart illustrating a WLAN access procedure according to an example embodiment of the present invention for a case in which a plurality of MSs try to access an AP simultaneously, FIG. 8 illustrates a detailed logic of a first analysis in the example embodiment of FIG. 7, and FIG. 9 illustrates a detailed logic of a second analysis in the example embodiment of FIG. 7.
  • Referring to FIGS. 7 to 9, a first mobile station 100 may transmit a first probe request message (S103, S103 a). Also, a second mobile station 400 may obtain (i.e., overhear) the first probe request message transmitted from the first mobile station 100.
  • The second mobile station 400 may determine similarity between a second probe request message which the second mobile station prepares to transmit and the first probe request message. As a result, when the second probe request message is similar to the first probe request message, the second mobile station 400 may delay transmission of the second probe request message (S202). In this case, the second mobile station 400 may delay the transmission of the second probe request message for at least a maximum channel time (e.g., ‘MaxChannelTime’).
  • For example, when a SSID included in the first probe request message coincides with a SSID included in the second probe request message, the second mobile station 400 may determine that the first probe request message is similar to the second probe request message.
  • On the contrary, when the SSID included in the first probe request message is different from the SSID included in the second probe request message, the second mobile station 400 may determine that the first probe request message is different from the second probe request message. In this case, the second mobile station 400 may transmit the second probe request message without delaying.
  • Also, the second mobile station 400 may further analyze similarity between the probe request messages by using other items in addition to the SSID. For example, in case that access information (e.g., frequency band information, transmission speed, load information, and so on) is included in the probe request message, the second mobile station 400 may analyze similarity between first access information included in the first probe request message and second access information included in the second probe request message, and may determine that the first probe request message is similar to the second probe request message when the access information of both messages coincides with each other. Here, as an example of the further analysis, access information is suggested. However, methods of configuring wireless links according to the present invention are not limited to the above-described example.
  • Meanwhile, the wireless access station 200 may transmit a probe response message (or, a beacon message) in response to the first probe request message (S105, S105 a). The first mobile station 100 may receive the probe response message (or, the beacon message) from the wireless access station 200.
  • The second mobile station 400 may obtain (i.e., overhear) the probe response message (or, the beacon message) from the wireless access station 200. Then, the second mobile station 400 may determine whether capability information included in the probe response message satisfies its requirements, and may discard transmission of the second probe request message when the capability information satisfies its requirements (S206).
  • On the other hand, the second mobile station 400 may transmit the second probe request message when the capability information included in the probe request message does not satisfy its requirements.
  • Also, the second mobile station 400 may determine whether to discard transmission of the second probe request message by using other information in addition to the capability information. For example, if the probe response message includes access information (i.e., frequency band information, transmission speed, load information, etc.), the second mobile station 400 may determine whether the access information included in the probe response message satisfies its requirements, and discard transmission of the second probe request message when the access information satisfies its requirements.
  • On the other hand, the second mobile station 400 may transmit the second probe request message when the capability information included in the probe response message does not satisfy its requirements. Here, although the access information is suggested as an example of the further analysis. However, methods of configuring wireless links according to the present invention are not limited to the above-described example.
  • Meanwhile, when the first mobile station 100 receives the probe response message, the first mobile station 100 may transmit a first authentication request message to the wireless access station 200 (S107). After then, the first mobile station 100 may perform an authentication step and an association step so as to access the wireless access station 200.
  • When the second mobile station 400 receives the probe response message, the second mobile station may transmit a second authentication request message to the wireless access station 200 (S207). Then, the second mobile station 400 may perform an authentication step and an association step so as to access the wireless access station 200.
  • FIG. 10 illustrates a packet structure of a beacon message transmitted by AP according to the present invention.
  • Referring to FIG. 10, a wireless access station (i.e., the wireless access station 200 of FIG. 7) may transmit a beacon message including a frame control field, a duration/ID field, a destination address field, a source address field, a basic service set (BSS) ID field, a sequence control field, a frame body field, and a frame check sequence (FCS) field.
  • Here, the frame body field may include a timestamp field, a beacon interval field, a capability field, a service set identifier (SSID) field, a supported rates field, an operating band (OB) field, an operating channel (OC) field, etc.
  • Meanwhile, information of fields in the frame body field excluding the OB field and the OC field may mean BSS information (i.e., BSSI). That is, BSSI may include the timestamp field, the beacon interval field, the capability field, the service set identifier (SSID) field, and the supported rates field.
  • FIG. 11 illustrates a packet structure of a probe request message transmitted by MS according to the present invention.
