Abstract
Disclosed are a data transceiver and a method thereof in a wireless communication system, and particularly, is a data transceiver and method thereof using multiple routes in the wireless communication system. The data transmitting/receiving method using the multiple routes in the wireless communication system includes setting a direct route to a corresponding station and a relay route to a relay device, selecting one route from among the direct route and relay route, and transmitting/receiving data through the selected route.
Claims11
A method for transmitting or receiving data of a station, the method comprising:
- respectively setting a direct route to a corresponding station and a relay route to a relay device;
- selecting one of the direct route and the relay route for communication, including
- selecting the relay route when the direct route is unavailable, and
- alternately selecting the direct route and the relay route in accordance with a predetermined order of use when both the direct and relay routes are available;
- and
- transmitting or receiving the data through the selected route,
- wherein the setting of the relay route includes
- transmitting Media Access Control (MAC) data wherein a relay capability field is set to 1, to the relay device, and
- setting the relay route through receiving the MAC data wherein the relay support capability field is set to 1, from the relay device.
A method of transmitting or receiving data of a relay device, the method comprising:
- respectively setting a communication route to a single station and a communication route to a corresponding station that intends to communicate with the single station;
- respectively performing an antenna training to adjust a direction and a width of a beam of an antenna with respect to the single station and the corresponding station, the antenna training using a parallel training method that is simultaneously performed for the single station and the corresponding station;
- and
- receiving the data from the single station and transferring the data to the corresponding station,
- wherein the transferring the data is performed in an amplify and forward scheme, during which a packet header of the data is decoded, and two modes are set according to the decoded information.
A method for transmitting/receiving data of a station, the method comprising:
- setting a direct route to a corresponding station used to support a relay, and setting a relay route to a relay device;
- and
- transmitting/receiving data to/from the corresponding station through the direct route or the relay route,
- wherein the setting of the relay route comprises:
- transmitting an Information Element (IE) in which a relay support capability field is set to 1, and
- setting the relay route with a device in which a relay capability field is set to 1.
A method of transmitting/receiving data of a relay device, the method comprising:
- performing antenna training to adjust a beam of an antenna with respect to each of a first station and a second station used to form a direct route with the first state, and setting a relay route;
- and
- transferring data in an amplify-and-forward scheme between the first station and the second station,
- wherein the setting of the relay route comprises:
- transmitting an Information Element (IE) in which a relay capability field is set to 1, and
- setting the relay route with stations in which a relay support capability field is set to 1.
A method for transmitting or receiving data of a corresponding station, the method comprising:
- setting a direct route with a station used to support a relay;
- setting a relay route to a relay device, including
- transmitting an Information Element (IE) in which a relay support capability field is set to 1;
- and
- setting the relay route with the relay device in which a relay capability field is set to 1;
- when data is not received periodically from the station for a predetermined period of time through one route from among the direct route and the relay route, switching a communication route to the other route;
- and
- transmitting data to or receiving data from the station through the switched route.
