Abstract
Description
The present embodiment relates to an apparatus and method for adaptively exchanging data frames according to a situation in a wireless LAN system.
The contents described in this section merely provide background information on the present embodiment and do not constitute the prior art.
Unlike other wireless communication networks, in a wireless LAN system of IEEE 802.11, since a plurality of terminals share the same channel in communicating with one access point (AP) There is a possibility of collision between data streams. Conventional wireless LAN systems have used CSMA / CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) to avoid the risk of collision between data streams that are always present. The CSMA / CA technique is a technique in which a UE detects a carrier before transmitting a data frame, confirms whether there is another UE occupying the channel, and then transmits a data frame to avoid collision between data streams as much as possible . To this end, a specific UE checks whether another wireless medium exists before it transmits a data frame, and determines whether the channel is empty. If it is determined that the channel is empty, it waits for a predetermined time (IFS: Inter Frame Space) and then transmits a data frame when the channel is empty. However, even if the CSMA / CA scheme is used, there is a possibility of collision when two or more UEs transmit data frames at the same time.
A technique designed to prevent this problem is a Request to Send (RTS) / Clear to Send (CTS) exchange scheme. A certain terminal transmits an RTS frame, which is relatively much smaller than a data frame, to the access point before attempting to occupy the channel. When a specific terminal receives a CTS frame from an access point and succeeds in exclusive occupation of a channel, a specific terminal transmits a data frame, and if not, transmits an RTS frame again. As described above, since the data frame collision is prevented in advance by using the exchange of the RTS / CTS frame, the loss due to the collision of the data frame is greatly reduced, thereby further improving the performance.
However, even when the number of terminals to be connected to the access point is not large, a loss may occur in case of using the RTS / CTS exchange scheme. For example, if the number of terminals to be connected to the access point is not large and there is little concern of loss of data frames due to collision between data streams, if the RTS / CTS exchange scheme is used, the RTS / There is a problem that the CTS overhead becomes large and the efficiency becomes low.
Therefore, there is a need for a method of exchanging data frames between a terminal and an access point using an appropriate communication method depending on the situation.
An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for adaptively selecting a method of exchanging data frames according to environments in order to minimize loss and overhead due to collisions that may occur during exchange of data frames have.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of adaptively exchanging data frames in a wireless LAN system, the method comprising: a setting step of setting an initial value of a mode setting parameter according to whether a predetermined condition is satisfied; An adjustment step of adjusting the value of the mode setting parameter according to whether exchange of a data frame is possible or not and an initial value of the mode setting parameter or a value of a mode setting parameter adjusted in the adjusting process exceeds a preset reference value, And determining whether to use a Request-To-Send or CTS (Clear-To-Send) frame exchange scheme.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a transmission apparatus for adaptively exchanging data frames in a wireless LAN system, the transmission apparatus including an initial value of a mode setting parameter according to whether a predetermined condition is satisfied, The communication method is set according to whether the initial value of the mode setting parameter or the value of the mode setting parameter adjusted in the adjusting process exceeds a preset reference value by adjusting the value of the mode setting parameter according to whether or not the frame can be exchanged. (RTS) or a CTS (Clear) according to the control of the control unit, and a control unit for controlling the communication mode setting unit -To-Send ") frame, and a wireless communication unit It provides Im transport.
As described above, according to one aspect of the present embodiment, by providing an apparatus and method for adaptively selecting a method of exchanging data frames according to an environment, it is possible to reduce a loss due to a collision that may occur during data frame exchange, Can be minimized.
