METHOD AND NETWORK DEVICE FOR ENABLING MIMO STATION AND SISO STATION TO COEXIST IN WIRELESS NETWORK WITHOUT DATA COLLISION

摘要

Provided are a method of enabling a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) stationand a single input single output (SISO) station to coexist in a wirelessnetwork and a wireless network device. The method includes receivinginformation on a station when the station accesses a wireless network, settingcoexistence information by comparing a number of antennas of the stationaccessing the wireless network with a number of antennas of a plurality ofstations constituting the wireless network, and transmitting a framecontaining the coexistence information to the plurality of stationsconstituting the wireless network.
