Abstract
A method and apparatus for configuring mesh peer link and a method and apparatus for switching channel in wireless mesh network are provided. A method of configuring a mesh peer link in a wireless mesh network includes a first mesh station transmitting a mesh peering open frame to a second mesh station, and the first mesh station receiving a mesh peering confirm frame from the second mesh station in response to the mesh peering open frame, wherein the first mesh station and the second mesh station support a very high throughput (VHT), and wherein the mesh peering open frame and the mesh peering confirm frame comprise a VHT capability information element.
Claims5
A channel switch method in a wireless mesh network, wherein a first mesh station that is to be switched from a first channel to a second channel transmits a channel switch announcement frame to a second mesh station,
- wherein the first mesh station and the second mesh station support a VHT, and
- wherein the channel switch announcement frame comprises a wide bandwidth channel switch element field and a mesh channel switch parameter element field.
A wireless device for supporting a channel switch method in a wireless mesh network, the wireless device comprising:
- a processor for generating and processing a frame;
- and
- a transceiver connected to the processor to transmit and
- receive the frame generated by the processor,
- wherein, when the wireless device performs switch from a first channel to a second channel, the processor generates a channel switch announcement frame including a wide bandwidth channel switch element field and a mesh channel switch parameter element field.
