摘要

A transmit apparatus and a method of the transmitting apparatus in a wireless communication system supporting ranging capability are provided. The transmitting apparatus and the method include: a medium access control (MAC) common part sublayer (CPS) data request: MCPS-DATA.request) primitive received from an upper layer of the transmitting apparatus ( identifying whether the primitive) includes a ranging configuration information element (IE) or a ranging IE; transmitting a ranging control message (RCM) to a receiving device in response to the MCPS-DATA.request primitive including the ranging configuration IE; transmitting a ranging initiation message (RIM) to the receiving device in response to the MCPS-DATA.request primitive including the ranging IE; Receiving, from the receiving device, MAC data including a ranging message non-receipt information element (RMNR IE) indicating failure to receive the RIM; and identifying the RMNR IE through the MCPS-DATA.indication primitive.
