Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for dynamically allocating resources in a High Efficiency WLAN (Wireless Local Area) (HEW). According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for resource switching in a WLAN may be provided. The method may include receiving, by a station (STA) from an access point (AP), a downlink multiple user (DL MU) frame on a resource indicated by first resource allocation information, the DL MU frame including the first resource allocation information and second resource allocation information for a next MU frame following the DL MU frame, and processing, by the STA, the next MU frame based on a resource indicated by the second resource allocation information.
Claims20
A method for resource switching in a wireless local area network, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a station (STA) from an access point (AP), a downlink multiple user (DL MU) frame on a resource indicated by first resource allocation information, the DL MU frame including the first resource allocation information and second resource allocation information for a next MU frame following the DL MU frame;
- and
- processing, by the STA, the next MU frame based on a resource indicated by the second resource allocation information.
A method for supporting resource switching in a wireless local area network, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by an access point (AP) to a station (STA) among a plurality of STAs, a downlink multiple user (DL MU) frame on a resource indicated by first resource allocation information, the DL MU frame including the first resource allocation information and second resource allocation information for next MU frame following the DL MU frame;
- and
- processing, by the AP, the next MU frame based on a resource indicated by the second resource allocation information.
