US 2016/0366647 A1 · MULTI-CHANNEL LOW POWER COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

Abstract

A multi-channel low power communication method and apparatus are provided. The multi-channel low power communication method may include transmitting request to send (RTS) to a receiver through a plurality of communication channels, receiving clear to send (CTS) from the receiver in response to the RTS, and transmitting a data packet through part or entire of at least one communication channel having received the CTS among the plurality of communication channels, wherein at least one of the RTS and the CTS comprises a multi-channel power save information field related to multi-channel power save.

Claims8

Dependent claims

A multi-channel low power communication method performed by a receiver, the method comprising:

receiving, from a transmitter, information on a channel bandwidth of the transmitter;
and
determining a channel bandwidth for communicating with the transmitter based on the received information on the channel bandwidth of the transmitter so that a power consumption is reduced.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
