1. A method of configuring a mesh peer link in a wireless mesh network, the method comprising:

  • a first mesh station transmitting a mesh peering open frame to a second mesh station; and

    the first mesh station receiving a mesh peering confirm frame from the second mesh station in response to the mesh peering open frame,wherein the first mesh station and the second mesh station support a very high throughput (VHT),wherein the mesh peering open frame and the mesh peering confirm frame each includes a VHT capability information element, andwherein each VHT capability information element includes at least one of an information element indicating a maximum MAC protocol data unit (MPDU) length, an information element indicating a channel bandwidth supported by a station, an information element indicating whether an encoded packet is received by a low density parity check (LDPC), an information element indicating whether a short guard interval (GI) is supported, an information element indicating whether reception of a Physical Layer Convergence Procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) using space time block coding (STBC) is supported, and an information element indicating whether a transmission opportunity (TXOP) power save mode is supported.
