Abstract

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for transceiving channel transmit power information in a wireless communication system. According to one embodiment of the present invention, transmit power information for the channel available for the device which operates in a television band may be signaled for each individual channel.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting, by a device, operating class information for two frequency segments having an equal width, the method comprising:

transmitting, by the device, a first operating/subband sequence and a second operating/subband sequence,

wherein the first operating/subband sequence and the second operating/subband sequence identify the operating class information for the two frequency segments having the equal width,

wherein the first operating/subband sequence includes a first operating triplet that identifies a first behavior mode of a first of the two frequency segments having the equal width, and

wherein the second operating/subband sequence includes a second operating triplet that identifies a second behavior mode of a second of the two frequency segments having the equal width.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first operating/subband sequence and the second operating/subband sequence are consecutive sequences.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first operating/subband sequence and the second operating/subband sequence are transmitted in a frame.

4. The method according to claim 3,

wherein the identifier field includes an integer value of 201 or greater.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first behavior mode is different from the second behavior mode.

6. The method according to claim 1,

wherein a value of a sub-field of the first operating triplet indicates that the operating class information is for the two frequency segments having the equal width.

7. The method according to claim 1,

wherein each of the first operating triplet and the second operating triplet includes identifier field, operating class field and coverage class field.

8. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the two frequency segments are non-contiguous in a frequency domain.

9. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the first operating/subband sequence and the second operating/subband sequence are included in a country element in a frame.

10. A method for receiving, by a device, operating class information for two frequency segments having an equal width, the method comprising:

receiving, by the device, a frame including a first operating/subband sequence and a second operating/subband sequence,

wherein the first operating/subband sequence and the second operating/subband sequence identify the operating class information for the two frequency segments having the equal width,

wherein the first operating/subband sequence includes a first operating triplet that identifies a first behavior mode of a first of the two frequency segments having the equal width, and

wherein the second operating/subband sequence includes a second operating triplet that identifies a second behavior mode of a second of the two frequency segments having the equal width.

11. An apparatus for transmitting operating class information, the apparatus comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the transceiver and configured to receive a frame including a first operating/subband sequence and a second operating/subband sequence,

wherein the first operating/subband sequence and the second operating/subband sequence identify the operating class information for thefor two frequency segments having thehaving an equal width,

wherein the first operating/subband sequence includes a first operating triplet that identifies a first behavior mode of a first of the two frequency segments having the equal width, and

wherein the second operating/subband sequence includes a second operating triplet that identifies a second behavior mode of a second of the two frequency segments having the equal width.

12. An apparatus for receiving operating class information, the apparatus comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor operative connected to the transceiver and configured to transmit a frame including a first operating/subband sequence and a second operating/subband sequence,

wherein the first operating/subband sequence and the second operating/subband sequence identify the operating class information for thefor two frequency segments having thehaving an equal width,

wherein the first operating/subband sequence includes a first operating triplet that identifies a first behavior mode of a first of the two frequency segments having the equal width, and

wherein the second operating/subband sequence includes a second operating triplet that identifies a second behavior mode of a second of the two frequency segments having the equal width.
