- An ellipse representing a BSS in FIG. 2 may also be understood as representing a coverage area in which STAs included in the corresponding BSS maintain communication. This area may be referred to as a Basic Service Area (BSA).
- BSA Basic Service Area
- the most basic type of BSS in a wireless LAN is an independent BSS (Independent BSS, IBSS).
- IBSS may have a minimal form consisting of only two STAs.
- BSS1 composed of only STA1 and STA2 or BSS2 composed of only STA3 and STA4 may respectively correspond to representative examples of IBSS.
- This configuration is possible when STAs can communicate directly without an AP.
- this type of wireless LAN it is not configured in advance, but may be configured when a LAN is required, and this may be referred to as an ad-hoc network.
- IBSS does not include an AP, there is no centralized management entity. That is, in IBSS, STAs are managed in a distributed manner. In the IBSS, all STAs can be made up of mobile STAs, and access to the distributed system (DS) is not allowed, forming a self-contained network.
- DS distributed system
- the STA's membership in the BSS may be dynamically changed by turning on or off the STA, entering or exiting the BSS area, and the like.
- the STA may join the BSS using a synchronization process.
- the STA In order to access all services of the BSS infrastructure, the STA must be associated with the BSS. This association may be dynamically established and may include the use of a Distribution System Service (DSS).
- DSS Distribution System Service
- Direct STA-to-STA distance in a WLAN may be limited by PHY performance. In some cases, this distance limit may be sufficient, but in some cases, communication between STAs at a longer distance may be required.
- a distributed system (DS) may be configured to support extended coverage.
- DS means a structure in which BSSs are interconnected.
- a BSS may exist as an extended form of a network composed of a plurality of BSSs.
- DS is a logical concept and can be specified by the characteristics of Distributed System Media (DSM).

- DSM may be logically separated.
- Each logical medium is used for a different purpose and is used by different components. These media are not limited to being the same, nor are they limited to being different.
- the flexibility of the WLAN structure (DS structure or other network structure) can be explained in that a plurality of media are logically different. That is, the WLAN structure may be implemented in various ways, and the corresponding WLAN structure may be independently specified by the physical characteristics of each embodiment.
- a DS can support a mobile device by providing seamless integration of multiple BSSs and providing logical services needed to address addresses to destinations.
- the DS may further include a component called a portal that serves as a bridge for connection between the wireless LAN and other networks (eg, IEEE 802.X).
- An AP means an entity that enables access to a DS through a WM for coupled non-AP STAs and also has the functionality of an STA. Data movement between the BSS and the DS may be performed through the AP.
- STA2 and STA3 shown in FIG. 2 have the functionality of STAs, and provide a function allowing combined non-AP STAs (STA1 and STA4) to access the DS.
- all APs basically correspond to STAs, all APs are addressable entities.
- the address used by the AP for communication on the WM and the address used by the AP for communication on the DSM are not necessarily the same.
- a BSS composed of an AP and one or more STAs may be referred to as an infrastructure BSS.
- Data transmitted from one of the STA(s) coupled to an AP to an STA address of that AP is always received on an uncontrolled port and may be processed by an IEEE 802.1X port access entity.
- transmission data or frames can be delivered to the DS.
- An extended service set may be set to provide wide coverage in addition to the above-described DS structure.
- ESS refers to a network in which a network having an arbitrary size and complexity is composed of DS and BSS.
- An ESS may correspond to a set of BSSs connected to one DS. However, ESS does not include DS.
- An ESS network is characterized by being seen as an IBSS in the LLC (Logical Link Control) layer. STAs included in the ESS can communicate with each other, and mobile STAs can move from one BSS to another BSS (within the same ESS) transparently to the LLC.
- APs included in one ESS may have the same service set identification (SSID).
- the SSID is distinguished from the BSSID, which is an identifier of the BSS.
- BSSs can partially overlap, which is a form commonly used to provide continuous coverage.
- BSSs may not be physically connected, and logically there is no limit on the distance between BSSs.
- the BSSs may be physically located in the same location, which may be used to provide redundancy.
- one (or more than one) IBSS or ESS networks may physically exist in the same space as one (or more than one) ESS network.

- FIG 3 is a diagram for explaining a link setup process to which the present disclosure may be applied.
- the STA In order for the STA to set up a link with respect to the network and transmit/receive data, it first discovers the network, performs authentication, establishes an association, and authenticates for security have to go through
- the link setup process may also be referred to as a session initiation process or a session setup process.
- the processes of discovery, authentication, association, and security setting of the link setup process may be collectively referred to as an association process.
- the STA may perform a network discovery operation.
- the network discovery operation may include a scanning operation of the STA. That is, in order for the STA to access the network, it needs to find a network in which it can participate.
- the STA must identify a compatible network before participating in a wireless network, and the process of identifying a network existing in a specific area is called scanning.
- FIG. 3 exemplarily illustrates a network discovery operation including an active scanning process.
- active scanning an STA performing scanning transmits a probe request frame to discover which APs exist around it while moving channels and waits for a response thereto.
- a responder transmits a probe response frame as a response to the probe request frame to the STA that has transmitted the probe request frame.
- the responder may be an STA that last transmitted a beacon frame in the BSS of the channel being scanned.
- the AP since the AP transmits the beacon frame, the AP becomes a responder.
- the STAs in the IBSS rotate to transmit the beacon frame, so the responder is not constant.
- an STA that transmits a probe request frame on channel 1 and receives a probe response frame on channel 1 stores BSS-related information included in the received probe response frame and transmits the probe request frame on the next channel (e.g., channel 2).
- channel e.g., channel 2
- scanning ie, probe request/response transmission/reception on channel 2
- the scanning operation may be performed in a passive scanning manner.
- passive scanning an STA performing scanning waits for a beacon frame while moving channels.
- a beacon frame is one of the management frames defined in IEEE 802.11, and is periodically transmitted to notify the existence of a wireless network and to allow an STA performing scanning to find a wireless network and participate in the wireless network.
- the AP serves to transmit beacon frames periodically, and in the IBSS, STAs within the IBSS rotate to transmit beacon frames.
- an STA performing scanning receives a beacon frame, it stores information about the BSS included in the beacon frame and records beacon frame information in each channel while moving to another channel.
- the STA receiving the beacon frame may store BSS-related information included in the received beacon frame, move to the next channel, and perform scanning in the next channel in the same way. Comparing active scanning and passive scanning, active scanning has an advantage of having less delay and less power consumption than passive scanning.
- step S320 After the STA discovers the network, an authentication process may be performed in step S320.
- This authentication process may be referred to as a first authentication process in order to be clearly distinguished from the security setup operation of step S340 to be described later.

- FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a backoff process to which the present disclosure may be applied.
- a basic access mechanism of medium access control is a carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism.
- the CSMA/CA mechanism is also called Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) of IEEE 802.11 MAC, and basically adopts a "listen before talk" access mechanism.
- DCF Distributed Coordination Function
- the AP and / or STA senses a radio channel or medium for a predetermined time interval (eg, DCF Inter-Frame Space (DIFS)) prior to starting transmission
- a predetermined time interval eg, DCF Inter-Frame Space (DIFS)
- DIFS DCF Inter-Frame Space
- the medium is determined to be in an idle state, frame transmission is started through the corresponding medium, while the medium is occupied or If it is detected that it is busy, the corresponding AP and/or STA does not start its own transmission and waits by setting a delay period (eg, random backoff period) for medium access.
- Frame transmission may be attempted later, and since several STAs are expected to attempt frame transmission after waiting for different periods of time due to the application of the random backoff period, collision may be minimized.
- HCF Hybrid Coordination Function
- HCF is based on the DCF and Point Coordination Function (PCF).
- PCF is a polling-based synchronous access method and refers to a method in which all receiving APs and/or STAs periodically poll to receive data frames.
- HCF has Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) and HCF Controlled Channel Access (HCCA).
- EDCA is a contention-based access method for a provider to provide data frames to multiple users, and HCCA uses a non-contention-based channel access method using a polling mechanism.
- the HCF includes a medium access mechanism for improving WLAN QoS (Quality of Service), and can transmit QoS data in both a Contention Period (CP) and a Contention Free Period (CFP). .
- the random backoff count has a pseudo-random integer value and may be determined as one of values ranging from 0 to CW.
- CW is a contention window parameter value.
- the CW parameter is given CWmin as an initial value, but may take a value twice as large in case of transmission failure (for example, when an ACK for the transmitted frame is not received).
- CW parameter value When the CW parameter value reaches CWmax, data transmission may be attempted while maintaining the CWmax value until data transmission is successful, and when data transmission is successful, the CWmin value is reset.
- the STA continuously monitors the medium while counting down the backoff slots according to the determined backoff count value.
- the medium is monitored for occupancy, it stops counting down and waits, and resumes the rest of the countdown when the medium becomes idle.
- STA3 when a packet to be transmitted arrives at the MAC of STA3, STA3 can transmit the frame immediately after confirming that the medium is idle as much as DIFS. The remaining STAs monitor and wait for the medium to be occupied/occupied. In the meantime, data to be transmitted may also occur in each of STA1, STA2, and STA5, and each STA waits as long as DIFS when the medium is monitored as idle, and then counts down the backoff slot according to the random backoff count value selected by each STA. can be performed. Assume that STA2 selects the smallest backoff count value and STA1 selects the largest backoff count value.
- STA1 and STA5 temporarily stop counting down and wait while STA2 occupies the medium.
- STA1 and STA5 wait for DIFS and resume the stopped backoff count. That is, frame transmission may be started after counting down the remaining backoff slots for the remaining backoff time. Since the remaining backoff time of STA5 is shorter than that of STA1, STA5 starts frame transmission. While STA2 occupies the medium, data to be transmitted may also occur in STA4.
- the STA4 may perform a countdown according to the random backoff count value selected by the STA4 and start transmitting frames.
- the example of FIG. 4 shows a case where the remaining backoff time of STA5 coincides with the random backoff count value of STA4 by chance. In this case, a collision may occur between STA4 and STA5. When a collision occurs, both STA4 and STA5 do not receive an ACK, so data transmission fails. In this case, STA4 and STA5 may double the CW value, select a random backoff count value, and perform a countdown.
- STA1 waits while the medium is occupied due to transmission of STA4 and STA5, waits for DIFS when the medium becomes idle, and then starts frame transmission after the remaining backoff time has elapsed.
- the data frame is a frame used for transmission of data forwarded to a higher layer, and may be transmitted after a backoff performed after DIFS elapses from when the medium becomes idle.
- the management frame is a frame used for exchange of management information that is not forwarded to a higher layer, and is transmitted after a backoff performed after an IFS such as DIFS or Point Coordination Function IFS (PIFS). Beacon, association request/response, re-association request/response, probe request/response, authentication request/response as subtype frames of management frame. request/response), etc.
- a control frame is a frame used to control access to a medium.
- control frame is not a response frame of the previous frame, it is transmitted after backoff performed after DIFS elapses, and if it is a response frame of the previous frame, it is transmitted without performing backoff after SIFS (short IFS) elapses.
- the type and subtype of the frame may be identified by a type field and a subtype field in a frame control (FC) field.
- QoS (Quality of Service) STA is AIFS (arbitration IFS) for the access category (AC) to which the frame belongs, that is, AIFS[i] (where i is a value determined by AC) Backoff performed after elapsed After that, the frame can be transmitted.
- AIFS[i] may be used for a data frame, a management frame, or a control frame other than a response frame.

- the STA's MAC may use a Network Allocation Vector (NAV).
- NAV Network Allocation Vector
- NAV is a value that indicates to other STAs the remaining time until the medium is available for use by an STA currently using or having the right to use the medium.
- the value set as the NAV corresponds to a period in which the medium is scheduled to be used by the STA transmitting the frame, and the STA receiving the NAV value is prohibited from accessing the medium during the corresponding period.
- the NAV may be set based on the value of the “duration” field of the MAC header of the frame.
- STA1 intends to transmit data to STA2, and STA3 is in a position capable of overhearing some or all of frames transmitted and received between STA1 and STA2.
- a mechanism using RTS/CTS frames may be applied.
- STA1 while transmission of STA1 is being performed, as a result of carrier sensing of STA3, it may be determined that the medium is in an idle state. That is, STA1 may correspond to a hidden node to STA3.
- STA2 it may be determined that the carrier sensing result medium of STA3 is in an idle state while transmission of STA2 is being performed. That is, STA2 may correspond to a hidden node to STA3.
- STA1 may determine whether a channel is being used through carrier sensing. In terms of physical carrier sensing, STA1 may determine a channel occupation idle state based on an energy level or signal correlation detected in a channel. In addition, in terms of virtual carrier sensing, STA1 may use a network allocation vector (NAV) timer to determine a channel occupancy state.
- NAV network allocation vector
- STA1 may transmit an RTS frame to STA2 after performing a backoff when the channel is in an idle state during DIFS.
- STA2 may transmit a CTS frame as a response to the RTS frame to STA1 after SIFS.
- STA3 uses duration information included in the RTS frame to transmit frames continuously transmitted thereafter
- a NAV timer for (eg, SIFS + CTS frame + SIFS + data frame + SIFS + ACK frame) may be set.
- STA3 uses duration information included in the CTS frame to transmit frames that are subsequently transmitted continuously
- a NAV timer for a period (eg, SIFS + data frame + SIFS + ACK frame) may be set.
- STA3 can overhear one or more of the RTS or CTS frames from one or more of STA1 or STA2, it can set the NAV accordingly.
- the STA3 may update the NAV timer using duration information included in the new frame. STA3 does not attempt channel access until the NAV timer expires.
- STA1 When STA1 receives the CTS frame from STA2, it may transmit a data frame to STA2 after SIFS from the time when reception of the CTS frame is completed. When the STA2 successfully receives the data frame, it may transmit an ACK frame as a response to the data frame to the STA1 after SIFS.
- STA3 may determine whether the channel is being used through carrier sensing when the NAV timer expires. When the STA3 determines that the channel is not used by other terminals during DIFS after expiration of the NAV timer, the STA3 may attempt channel access after a contention window (CW) according to a random backoff has passed.
- CW contention window
- FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an example of a frame structure used in a WLAN system to which the present disclosure can be applied.
- the PHY layer may prepare an MPDU (MAC PDU) to be transmitted. For example, when a command requesting transmission start of the PHY layer is received from the MAC layer, the PHY layer switches to the transmission mode and configures information (eg, data) provided from the MAC layer in the form of a frame and transmits it. . In addition, when the PHY layer detects a valid preamble of the received frame, it monitors the header of the preamble and sends a command notifying the start of reception of the PHY layer to the MAC layer.
