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.
Claims8
A communication method, comprising:
- transmitting, by a first station, a mesh peering open frame to a second mesh station;
- and
- receiving, by the first station, a mesh peering confirm frame from the second mesh station in response to the mesh peering open frame,
- wherein the mesh peering open frame includes a very high throughput (VHT) capability information element, and
- wherein the VHT capability information element includes an information element indicating whether a transmission opportunity (TXOP) power save mode is supported.
