※ Random Access = Contention Based Access

In the Random Access method, no station has a higher priority than any other station, and cannot control other stations.

Each station that has data to transmit at any given moment follows the procedure specified in the protocol to decide whether or not to transmit.

This decision depends on the state of the medium (idle, busy).

In other words, each station can transmit when it wants to transmit according to the medium condition by following a predetermined procedure including checking the condition of the medium.

If two or more stations try to transmit at the same time, access interference-collisions occur, resulting in corrupted or corrupted frames.

CSMA　(Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

Chances of collisions can be reduced if the station detects the medium before attempting to use it.

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) requires that each station first listen to (or check the state of) the medium before transmitting.

In the IEEE 802.11 standard, there are two medium access methods. One is called PCF (Point Coordination Function) Mode and competes based on priority.

The method basically used is DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) Mode, which is a method of competing with equal priority using CSMA/CA protocol.

3 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a method of operating a companion animal emergency medical support service providing AP.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the AP may acquire emergency occurrence information (S300). For example, the AP may obtain information about the occurrence of an emergency for a companion animal from a first user terminal associated with the AP.

For example, information about the occurrence of an emergency for a companion animal may be an input related to the occurrence of an emergency directly input by a user.

For example, information about the occurrence of an emergency for a companion animal may be photo or image information about the current state of the companion animal. In this case, the AP may provide the companion animal emergency service providing server with photo or image information about the current state of the companion animal, and may obtain a response signal indicating whether the corresponding situation is an emergency from the server.

The AP may negotiate whether to provide communication priority (S310). For example, the AP may transmit a request message regarding whether to provide communication priority to second and third user terminals connected to the AP in case of an emergency.

For example, when obtaining information about the occurrence of an emergency from the user terminal, the AP may determine that the user (or the user's companion animal) is in an emergency. The AP may transmit a request message to other user terminals associated with the AP as to whether communication priority can be provided to a terminal in an emergency.

For example, the AP may receive an agreement message for providing the priority from the second user terminal as a response to the request message. For example, the AP may receive a rejection message for providing the priority from the third user terminal as a response to the request message. That is, the AP may receive a communication priority provision consent message from some user terminals and a message about rejection of communication priority provision from some user terminals.

The first user terminal may select an arbitrary first backoff counter within a contention window (CW).

The first user terminal may request backoff counter information of a terminal that has refused to provide communication priority to the AP.

The AP may request backoff counter information from the rejected terminal (S320). For example, the AP may request second backoff counter information, which is the current backoff counter of the third user terminal, from the third user terminal.

For example, the third user terminal may be currently preparing to transmit, and thus may be in the process of backoff. The third user terminal may select a random backoff counter within the CW and receive a signal requesting second backoff counter information from the AP while preparing for transmission while reducing the backoff counter.

The AP may receive backoff counter information (S330). For example, the AP may receive information on the second backoff counter from the third user terminal.

The AP may transmit backoff counter information to the user terminal (S340). For example, the AP may transmit information about the second backoff counter to the first user terminal.

Accordingly, the first user terminal can obtain information about the second back-off counter, which is the current back-off counter of the third user terminal that has refused to grant communication priority to the first user terminal.

The first user terminal may simultaneously perform emergency backoff for transmission in an emergency situation and normal backoff for transmission in a general situation based on the first backoff counter. The emergency backoff may be set so that the backoff counter decreases by 2.

For example, the first user terminal may simultaneously perform an emergency backoff and a normal backoff in parallel. For example, if the first backoff counter starts with 10, the next backoff counter becomes 8 in emergency backoff and the next backoff counter becomes 9 in normal backoff. This is because the first user terminal cannot apply emergency backoff to the third user terminal (i.e., the third user terminal has refused to grant communication priority to the first user terminal), so the relationship with the third user terminal is affected. Since the normal backoff must be applied and the emergency backoff can be applied to the second user terminal (ie, the second user terminal has agreed to give communication priority to the first user terminal), the emergency backoff can be applied. because it can

When the back-off counter becomes 0 through the emergency back-off, the first user terminal transmits an emergency transmission signal to the AP based on the fact that the first back-off counter is smaller than the second back-off counter. can

That is, when the third user terminal does not assign communication priority to the first user terminal, but the first back-off counter is smaller than the second back-off counter, the first user terminal sends an emergency transmission signal based on the emergency back-off. can transmit

When the first back-off counter is selected, if the second back-off counter, which is the back-off counter of the third user terminal, is higher than the first back-off counter, the probability that the first user terminal and the third user terminal have a similar communication environment is Therefore, it is highly likely that the first user terminal will obtain a transmission opportunity first. In addition, since the first user terminal is highly likely to have decreased the backoff counter before the third user terminal through an emergency backoff, the first user terminal based on this is highly likely to decrease the backoff counter even though the third user terminal has refused to provide communication priority. An emergency transmission signal may be transmitted based on an emergency backoff.

When the back-off counter becomes 0 through the emergency back-off, the first user terminal transmits the emergency transmission signal to the AP based on whether the first back-off counter is greater than the second back-off counter. may not

If the second backoff counter is smaller than the first backoff counter, there is a probability that the third user terminal will obtain a transmission opportunity before the first user terminal, so the first user terminal does not transmit based on the emergency backoff. may not be

The first user terminal may transmit the emergency transmission signal when the first back-off counter becomes 0 through the normal back-off based on the fact that the first back-off counter is greater than the second back-off counter there is.

That is, when the second backoff counter is smaller than the first backoff counter, the first user terminal may perform general WLAN contention-based transmission through normal backoff.

The AP may receive an emergency transmission signal from the user terminal (S350). For example, the first user terminal may transmit an emergency transmission signal to the AP when the backoff counter becomes 0 through an emergency backoff or a normal backoff, and the AP may receive the emergency transmission signal from the first user terminal. .

The AP may obtain information on whether a nearby veterinary hospital exists (S360). For example, the AP may obtain information on whether a veterinary hospital exists within 5 km of the first user terminal from a companion animal emergency medical support service providing server.

The AP may transmit information on whether a veterinary clinic exists to the user terminal (S370). For example, the AP may transmit information about whether a veterinary hospital exists within 5 km of the first user terminal to the first user terminal.

The AP may acquire use/non-use information during an emergency infection (S380). For example, the first user terminal may provide information on whether an emergency pet taxi is used to the companion animal emergency medical support service providing server to the AP.

The AP may obtain source and destination information (S390). For example, the first user terminal may provide origin and destination information to the companion animal emergency medical support service providing server to the AP.

The AP may provide departure and destination information to the emergency pet taxi terminal, and the emergency pet taxi service may be provided to the user.
