    Abstract: Provided is a network allocation vector (NAV) operation method by a station (STA) operating in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system. An STA receiving a particular frame, if the frame is a frame for a basic service set (BSS) to which the corresponding STA belongs, determines whether or not a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is higher than the first clear channel assessment (CCA) level and, if the corresponding frame is not a frame for a BSS to which the STA belongs, determines if the RSSI is higher than the second CCA level which is higher than the first CCA level. If the RSSI is higher than the first CCA level or the second CCA level, the STA updates NAV. If the received frame is a request to send (RTS) frame or a clear to send (CTS) frame, the received frame comprises additional information used for determining whether or not the RTS frame or the CTS frame is a frame for a BSS to which the STA belongs.

    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for increasing transmission coverage of an STA performing an initial access in a wireless LAN are disclosed. An initial access method in a wireless LAN can comprise the steps of: transmitting a trigger frame on a channel by an AP; receiving, by the AP, a first probe request frame transmitted on a first sub-channel by a first STA as a response to the trigger frame; and transmitting, by the AP, on the channel, an MU PPDU including a first probe response frame, which is a response to the first probe request frame, and a second probe response frame, which is a response to the second probe request frame, wherein the channel can include the first sub-channel and the second sub-channel.
