The present invention relates to local area network communication, and more specifically, relate to system and method the measurement report application time marking that guarantees correctness fiducial time.
The change example that two kinds of WLAN are arranged usually: based on foundation structure with ad hoc type.In the former network, communication typically only the radio node that is called as station (STA) with also be generation between the access point (AP) of STA, they form basic service set (BSS) together.In ad hoc type network, communication directly occurs between the radio node, and these radio nodes form independently basic service set (IBSS).
In WLAN, request can measured and reporting measurements between the STA of Radio Measurement.Measurement on non-service channel is a special measurement, needs the STA that measures to interrupt its normal operation, switching channels and obtain the Radio Measurement value.Measurement on service channel is carried out as concurrent measurement by STA.Though the STA that can measure is responsible for deciphering with each measurement report frame of decipher and assesses its Effect on Performance for itself, but some is measured the execution of request and chooses wantonly, if and its execution meeting significantly worsens the performance of STA, then can ignore it by the STA that receives.
STA itself can measure one or more channels or STA can ask other STA in same BSS or IBSS to represent it to measure one or more channels.When other STA of request measured one or more channel, STA utilized the measurement request frame of wherein stipulating at least one measurement request elements.
