1. A method for channel switch in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a second station, an available channel information message from a device having database information, the available channel information message comprising;
identification information for an available channel;
information on a device type to which the available channel information message can be applied; and
when the information on the device type corresponds to a fixed device or a second mode device having an authority to directly access the database information, the available channel information message includes information on a valid time of the available channel,wherein the second station operates on the available channel based on the received available channel information message;
receiving, at the second station from a first station, a channel switch request frame comprising target channel information and transmit power control information for the target channel;
transmitting, by the second station to the first station, a channel switch response frame; and
transmitting, by the second station to the first station, a signal on the target channel,wherein parameters in the transmit power control information of the channel switch request frame are used for calculation of transmit power of the signal transmitted by the second station on the target channel, andwherein the information on the valid time is not included in the available channel information message when the information on the device type corresponds to a first mode device having no authority to directly access the database information.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a channel switching scheme. By this scheme, a first station transmits a channel switching request frame comprising target channel information and transmit power control information for the target channel to a second station. And, the second station transmits a channel switch response frame to the first station. After these, the second station transmits a signal on the target channel. Here, parameters in the above transmit power control information are used for transmit power control calculation of the second station for the target channel.

7. A station supporting channel switch in a wireless communication system, the station comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to; receive, at the station operating as a second station, an available channel information message from a device having database information, the available channel information message comprising; identification information for an available channel; information on a device type to which the available channel information message can be applied; and when the information on the device type corresponds to a fixed device or a second mode device having an authority to directly access the database information, the available channel information message includes information on a valid time of the available channel; receive, at the station, operating as the second station, from a first station, a channel switch request frame comprising target channel information and transmit power control information for the target channel; and
transmit, from the station, operating as the second station, to the first station, a channel switch response frame; and
a processor configured to;operate on the available channel; and control the transceiver to perform transmitting a signal on the target channel, wherein parameters in the transmit power control information of the channel switch request frame are used for calculation of transmit power of the signal transmitted from the station, operating as the second station, on the target channel, and wherein the information on the valid time is not included in the available channel information message when the information on the device type corresponds to a first mode device having no authority to directly access the database information. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
