Abstract
In an aspect of the present invention, provided herein is a method for turning on a Wi-Fi interface based on a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface by a first station (STA) in a wireless communication system, including: exchanging an advertising packet with a second STA based on the BLE interface; transmitting a first message to the second STA based on the BLE interface; and receiving a second message from the second STA based on the BLE interface. In this case, the Wi-Fi interface may be turned on based on the advertising packet, and information related to the Wi-Fi interface may be exchanged through the first and second messages.
