A UL MU transmission method of an STA operating in a power save mode, and a device for performing the method are disclosed. The UL MU transmission method of an STA operating in a power save mode can comprise the steps of: transmitting, by a STA, a TWT request element to an AP; receiving, by the STA, a TWT response element from the AP as a response to the TWT request element, wherein the TWT response element includes information on a target wake time; switching, by the STA, from a dose state to an awake state on the basis of the target wake time so as to receive a beacon frame from the AP; receiving, by the STA, a trigger frame from the AP on the basis of TWT information of the beacon frame; and transmitting, by the STA, an uplink frame to the AP on the basis of the trigger frame by using an UL MU transmission.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and a device for transmitting and receiving a traffic stream in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system. Specifically, the device broadcasts a beacon frame including allocation information on a contention-free period (CFP) and allocation information on a contention period (CP) to a station (STA) and transmits a downlink traffic stream to the STA or receives an uplink traffic stream from the STA, based on the allocation information on the CFP. The allocation information on the CFP indicates that the downlink traffic stream is transmitted without performing a clear channel assessment (CCA) during the CFP and indicates that the uplink traffic stream is received with performing a CCA during the CFP.

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.
Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
The present document relates to a method for efficiently performing uplink multi-user transmission in a wireless LAN system and an apparatus therefor. 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.
