Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for protecting a TXOP in a wireless communication system. The method for protecting a TXOP may comprise the steps of: receiving a trigger frame containing information on a first interval for an exchange of multiple clear-to-send (CTS) frames from a transmission station (STA) by a reception STA; and transmitting CTS frames to the transmission STA in the first interval by the reception STA.
Abstract:
The present document relates to a method for allocating resources for multi-user or multi-station (STA) data transmission in a wireless LAN system, and an apparatus therefor. To this end, an AP generates a frame including a signaling field and a data field, wherein the signaling field includes a first signaling field (SIG A field) comprising common control information for a plurality of STAs and a second signaling field (SIG B field) comprising user specific control information for each of the plurality of STAs, the second signaling field also comprising data transmission resource allocation information for each of the plurality of STAs. The AP transmits the thus generated frame to the plurality of STAs. If the frame is transmitted with a bandwidth of 40 MHz or greater, the second signaling field transmits independent control information in two adjacent 20 MHz bands, and the second signaling field, transmitted through a specific 20 MHz band, comprises data transmission resource allocation information within the specific 20 MHz band.
Abstract:
The present document relates to a power reduction mode operation of a STA in a wireless communication system. To this end, during the STA's power saving mode operation, the TIM (traffic indication map) reception, the PS poll signal transmission, and the data reception are performed through one of a downlink oriented channel and a general channel distinguished from the downlink oriented channel, and the STA may previously acquire information on whether the TIM reception, the PS poll signal transmission, and the data reception are performed through one channel of the downlink oriented channel and the general channel.
Abstract:
A method for a STA (Station) to transmit a frame to another STA is disclosed. The method includes preparing a VHT (Very High Throughput) frame including a first signaling field (VHT SIG A), a second signaling field (VHT SIG B) and a service field. One of the VHT SIG A, the VHT SIG B and the service field includes a subfield informing spatial reuse (SR) operation when the STA is capable to supporting HE (High Efficiency) WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) scheme.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving periodic data on the basis of a power save mode in a wireless LAN. The method for transmitting and receiving periodic data in a wireless LAN comprises: a step for receiving, by an access point (AP), each of a plurality of uplink frames including periodic uplink/downlink transmission fields, from each of a plurality of stations (STA); a step for determining, by the AP, a downlink resource for each of the plurality of periodic downlink frames to be transmitted to each of the plurality of STAs, and an uplink resource for each of the plurality of periodic uplink frames to be transmitted by each of the plurality of STAs; and a step for transmitting, by the AP, a multi-user (MU) scheduling frame including information on the downlink resource and information on the uplink resource, to each of the plurality of STAs.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a sounding method of a station (STA) for sending feedback information about a downlink (DL) channel state in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system. The sounding method includes receiving an NDP announcement (NDPA) frame providing notification of the transmission of a null data packet (NDP) frame; receiving the NDP frame; receiving a trigger frame comprising resource allocation information allocated to the STA; generating feedback information using the NDP frame; and sending a feedback frame comprising feedback information through uplink (UL) multi-user (MU) transmission using a frequency resource indicated by the resource allocation information. The feedback information may be generated in a frequency granularity (FG) unit with respect to a transmission bandwidth having a size smaller than or equal to the size of a transmission bandwidth of the NDP frame.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a device for updating system information in a wireless LAN system. A method for updating system information in a station (STA) of a wireless communication system may comprise transmitting, by the STA which stores system information and a configuration change count value of a previously linked preferred access point (AP), a probe request frame for active scanning to the preferred AP; and receiving a probe response frame from the preferred AP. Preferably, the probe request frame includes a configuration change count field previously acquired from the preferred AP, and if a value of the configuration change count field included in the probe request frame is different from a present configuration change count value of the preferred AP, the probe response frame may include one or more elements of system information which should be updated by the STA.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a wireless communication system, and in particular to a data transmission operation of an AP in a wireless LAN system. To this end, the AP may obtain information on a STA located at an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) from among STAs connected to the AP, and determines, based thereon, (1) whether to transmit data from the AP through a downlink oriented channel or a general channel different from the downlink oriented channel, or (2) whether to use one or more of a distributed coordination function (DCF) procedure and an enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) procedure.

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transmitting a frame in a wireless LAN. The method for transmitting a frame in a wireless LAN may comprise the steps of: transmitting, by an AP, an RTS frame for medium protection to a first STA set; receiving, by the AP, CTS frames, in sequence, from each of a plurality of STAs included in a second STA set in response to the RTS frame, the second STA set being included in the first STA set; and transmitting, by the AP, each of a plurality of PPDUs to each of the plurality of STAs via each of a plurality of subbands for each of the plurality of STAs on an overlapping time resource.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a channel access method and an apparatus therefor. A channel access method in a wireless LAN includes the steps of determining whether an STA (station) changes a first access category for a probe request frame; and if a first access category is changed to a second access category, performing a back-off process for enabling the STA to transmit the probe request frame based on the second access category, wherein the second access category may have a lower priority than the first access category.
