- the terminal performing the AID reassignment method according to an embodiment of the present invention needs to change the listen interval when the service type is changed due to a request for AID reassignment, when the terminal is changed to the low power mode according to the remaining battery condition of the terminal.
- FIG. 16 shows a configuration of a terminal performing an AID reassignment method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- an access point 200 may include a communication unit 210 and a processing unit 220.
- the communicator 210 may communicate with neighboring terminals based on the control of the processor 220.
- the processing unit 220 receives a reconnection request frame including an AID reassignment request element from the terminal 100 through the communication unit 210.
- the AID reassignment request element may include an AID reassignment request reason field indicating a reason for requesting AID reassignment, and the AID reassignment request reason field may include service type change information and low power mode information. (Low Power Mode), Listen Interval Change (Listen Interval Change) information, traffic pattern change information and the remaining battery information may be included.
- the processing unit 220 determines whether the received reconnection request frame is an AID reassignment request.
- the processing unit 220 may confirm that the terminal 100 is currently coupled terminal by checking the AP address and SSID, and whether the reconnection request frame is an AID reassignment request by checking the AID reassignment request element. Can be determined.
- the processing unit 220 reallocates the AID of the terminal 100 based on the reason for the AID request included in the AID reassignment request element, and includes the reassigned AID. Generate a reconnection response frame.
- the processor 220 may display whether the AID reassignment succeeds or fails in the status code of the reconnection response frame and may display the reassigned AID value in the AID field.
- the processing unit 220 transmits a reconnection response frame including the reassigned AID to the terminal 100 through the communication unit 210.
- the AID of the currently coupled terminal can be dynamically reassigned, thereby optimally optimizing the WLAN system. It can be operated.
