Abstract
A method and an apparatus for verifying maintenance of authentication in a terminal supporting a low power mode is provided. The method includes transmitting a broadcast packet or a multicast packet within a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) and then, receiving retransmission packet from a wireless network apparatus with respect to the respective packets, verifying whether authentication is maintained, and thereby verifying deauthentication with the wireless network apparatus in a shortest time. Through this present disclosure, the efficiency of the wireless communication service can be maximized.
Claims9
A terminal, comprising:
- a communication unit configured to transmit, to a wireless network apparatus, an authentication verification packet for verifying whether authentication with the wireless network apparatus is released;
- a reception verification unit configured to verify whether a retransmission packet which is sent in response to the authentication verification packet from the wireless network apparatus is received;
- and
- a controller configured to determine whether the authentication with the wireless network apparatus is released based on whether the retransmission packet is received or not, and perform a procedure of reconnection with the wireless network apparatus based on a result of the determination.
A method for verifying maintenance of authentication of a terminal, the method comprising:
- transmitting an authentication verification packet for verifying whether authentication with a wireless network apparatus is released;
- verifying whether a retransmission packet which is sent in response to the authentication verification packet from the wireless network apparatus is received;
- and
- determining whether the authentication with the wireless network apparatus is released based on whether the retransmission packet is received or not, and performing a procedure of reconnection with the wireless network apparatus based on a result of the determination.
