Abstract
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for performing MAC header compression in a wireless communication system. In a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention, a station STA may: receive information on assigning a plurality of association identifiers (AIDs) to the station STA from an access point (AP); receive, from the AP, a first frame including a medium access control (MAC) header that includes an address field set to one of the plurality of AIDs; and assign each of the plurality of AIDs by flow for the station STA.
Claims15
A method for transmitting a frame at a first station (STA) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a second STA, information about assignment of a plurality of association identifiers (AIDs) to the first STA;
- and
- transmitting, to the second STA, a first frame including a medium access control (MAC) header including an address field set to one of the plurality of AIDs,
- wherein each of the plurality of AIDs is assigned to each flow of the first STA.
An apparatus of a first station (STA) for transmitting a frame in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to receive, from a second STA, information about assignment of a plurality of association identifiers (AIDs) to the first STA using the transceiver and transmit, to the second STA, a first frame including a medium access control (MAC) header including an address field set to one of the plurality of AIDs using the transceiver, and
- wherein each of the plurality of AIDs is assigned to each flow of the first STA.
