Abstract
Disclosed are method for transmitting and receiving frame in wireless local area network and apparatus for the same. A communication method performed in a first station, the communication method comprises receiving, through a channel from an access point, a first frame notifying a first period for transmission or reception of a frame; and processing the first frame, wherein a second period exists between the first frame and the first period, and wherein the second period is a contention period during which stations are allowed to contend for the channel. Therefore, performance of WLAN can be enhanced.
Claims18
A communication method performed in a communication station, comprising:
- transmitting, by the communication station to an access point (AP), a request frame requesting the access point to schedule one or more durations, wherein a first group of one or more stations is allowed to participate in a communication between non-AP stations during the one or more durations, and a second group of one or more stations is prohibited from transmitting any frames during the one or more durations;
- and
- receiving, by the communication station from the access point, a response frame of the request frame,
- wherein the communication station is not an access point, and
- wherein the request frame includes information on a start time of an earliest duration of the one or more durations, and information on a time length of the one or more durations.
A communication method performed in an access point (AP), comprising:
