TIMING INFORMATION EXCHANGE IN WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS

Abstract: an electronic apparatus comprises a memory and a processor operably coupled to the memory and supporting a first non-ap station. the electronic apparatus generates timing information indicating when a packet is expired and transmits the packet to a first access point (ap) which the first non-ap station is associated with. the electronic apparatus transmits the timing information to the first ap. the timing information enables the first ap to transmit the packet based on the timing information to a second non-ap station associated with the first ap or enables the first ap to transmit the packet based on the timing information to a second ap so that the second ap transmits the packet to a third non-ap station associated with the second ap.
