Abstract:
An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for performing a clear channel assessment (CCA) by STA in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a frame including a coloring bit; changing a CCA level to a first level when the coloring bit indicates a basic service set (BSS) to which the STA belongs, and changing a CCA level to a second level when the coloring bit indicates a BSS to which the STA does not belong; and performing the CCA according to the first level or the second level, wherein when the frame has an OFDM-based format, the frame includes a coloring disable bit, and when the coloring disable bit indicates that the frame is a multiuser transmission-related trigger frame, the STA does not perform a change of the CCA level without regard to information indicated by the coloring bit.

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for power save mode operation on the basis of a frame transmitted from another BSS in a wireless LAN. A method for operating an STA in a wireless LAN in a power save mode comprises: a step in which the STA receives a beacon frame from an AP, the beacon frame comprising a TIM element indicating downlink data pending in the STA; a step in which the STA transmits a PS-poll frame to the AP in response to the beacon frame; a step in which the STA receives, from the AP, an ACK frame transmitted by the AP in response to the PS-poll frame; and a step in which the STA determines the operation of the another BSS in a TXOP power save mode on the basis of the ACK frame.

The present document relates to a backoff procedure and apparatus for efficiently accessing a broadband channel in a wireless LAN system. To this end, a station performs a clear channel assessment (CCA) operation in each of a plurality of channels, and when one or more of the plurality of channels is/are not used and the one or more channels is/are not used for frame transmission in the basic service set (BSS) of its/their station, the station is characterized in that it performs or re-performs a backoff procedure in the one or more channels. When a backoff counter value becomes zero according to the backoff procedure, the station may transmit a frame through the one or more channels.

To this end, an access point (AP) may transmit a downlink multi-user frame to a plurality of STAs, receive an uplink frame including an acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) signal for the downlink multi-user frame and an uplink scheduling request signal from at least two STAs among the STAs, transmit a downlink frame including uplink scheduling information to the at least two STAs on the basis of the uplink scheduling request signal, and receive an uplink multi-user frame including data from the at least two STAs in response thereto. Here, an SIG field of the downlink frame preferably comprises an indicator indicating that the downlink frame includes uplink multi-user scheduling information.
