  • Publication number: 20140080420
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method, device, and system for transmitting channel information, pertaining to the field of radio communication. The method for obtaining channel information includes: transmitting, by a beamformer, a request for obtaining channel information to a beamformee within the duration of a current first TXOP; receiving a null feedback frame transmitted by the beamformee within the duration of the current first TXOP; within the validity period of the channel information, if the beamformer obtains a second TXOP, transmitting, within the second TXOP, a channel information indication frame to request the channel information, and receiving the channel information transmitted by the beamformee. The system includes a beamformer and a beamformee. The present invention saves the signaling resources of the beamformer and reduces the power consumption of the beamformee.

  • Publication number: 20120224521
    Abstract: A power save method, an AP device and an STA device are provided. According to whether power save is allowed in a current TXOP and whether a station STA is newly added in an operation object identifier of a subsequent frame of each frame of the current TXOP, the AP device respectively sets a TXOP power save indication of each frame, and when the TXOP power save indication of the current frame is power save allowed, the STA device determines whether to enter the Doze state according to a judgment result for a doze condition. The adoption of the method and the device can expand the power save application range, and enhance the power save effect.
