Abstract
A method of performing a handover between a first device and a second device is provided. The method including: transmitting a handover request frame for requesting a handover, including information about a reason for requesting the handover, to the second device; receiving a handover response frame including handover request result information indicating whether the handover request is accepted, from the second device; and selectively performing the handover with the second device based on the handover response frame.
Claims21
A method of performing a handover between a first device and a second device, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to the second device, a handover request frame for requesting a handover, the handover request frame including information about a reason for requesting the handover;
- receiving, from the second device, a handover response frame including handover request result information indicating whether the handover request is accepted;
- selectively performing the handover with the second device based on the handover response frame, and
- wherein the reason for requesting the handover is a first reason that the first device has a higher operating capability as a personal basic service set (PBSS) control point (PCP) than the second device, or a second reason that the first device is to operate as a PCP to provide specific services.
An apparatus for performing a handover between a first device and a second device, the apparatus comprising:
- a transmitter, which transmits, to the second device, a handover request frame for requesting a handover, the handover request frame includes information about a reason for requesting the handover;
- a receiver, which receives, from the second device, a handover response frame which includes handover request result information indicating whether the handover request is accepted;
- and
- a handover performing device which selectively performs the handover with the second device based on the handover response frame,
- wherein the reason for requesting the handover is a first reason that the first device has a higher operating capability as a personal basic service set (PBSS) control point (PCP) than the second device, or a second reason that the first device is to operate as a PCP to provide specific services.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having embodied thereon that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a method of performing a handover between a first device and a second device, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to the second device, a handover request frame for requesting a handover, the handover request frame including information about a reason for requesting the handover;
- receiving, from the second device, a handover response frame including handover request result information indicating whether the handover request is accepted;
- and
- selectively performing the handover with the second device based on the handover response frame,
- wherein the reason for requesting the handover is a first reason that the first device has a higher operating capability as a personal basic service set (PBSS) control point (PCP) than the second device, or a second reason that the first device is to operate as a PCP to provide specific services.
