Abstract
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for an initial access over a wireless LAN. The method for an initial access by a station (STA) comprises: a step in which the STA receives initial access setup information from an access point (AP); and a step in which the STA determines whether to implement the initial access on the basis of the initial access setup information and the initial access decision information of the STA. Accordingly, the initial access of the STA can be distributed.
Claims12
An initial access method of an station (STA), the method comprising:
- receiving initial access setup (or configuration) information from an access point (AP) by the STA;
- and
- determining whether the STA performs an initial access based on the initial access setup information and initial access determination information of the STA,
- wherein the initial access setup information is information for determining whether the STA performs the initial access,
- wherein the initial access setup information includes information on a user priority or an access category,
- wherein the user priority is information for indicating an STA that the AP allows to perform the initial access,
- wherein the access category is information for indicating the type of traffic data of the STA that the AP allows to perform the initial access, and
- wherein the initial access determination information is information on the user priority or the access category corresponding to the STA.
An station (STA) of a wireless local area network (LAN) system, the STA including:
- a processor configured to:
- receive initial access setup(configuration) information from an access point (AP) by the STA, and
- determine whether the STA performs initial access based on the initial access setup information and initial access determination information of the STA,
- wherein the initial access setup information is information for determining whether the STA performs the initial access,
- wherein the initial access setup information includes user priority information or access category information,
- wherein the user priority is information for indicating an STA that the AP allows to perform the initial access,
- wherein the access category is information for indicating the type of traffic data of the STA that the AP allows to perform the initial access, and
- wherein the initial access determination information is information on the user priority or the access category corresponding to the STA.
