    摘要: A method of transmitting a spatial stream for multi user (MU)-multiple input multiple output (MIMO) in a wireless local area network system and a transmitter for performing the method are provided. The method includes transmitting, to a receiver, a management frame including group information to assign or change a position of a plurality of spatial streams corresponding to each of a plurality of groups, and transmitting, to the receiver, a frame including at least one spatial stream, wherein the group information includes a plurality of group indicators and a plurality of spatial stream (SS) indicators, each of the plurality of group indicators indicating whether the receiver is a member of each of the plurality of groups, each of the plurality of SS indicators indicating a position of the plurality of spatial streams corresponding to each of the plurality of groups.

    摘要: A method is provided for transmitting a signal by a station in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The station obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP) indicating a time duration used for transmission of a plurality of data units. The station transmits, during the TXOP, an initial data unit of the plurality of data units. The initial data unit comprises a control field indicating a transmit bandwidth of the initial data unit. The station selects a transmit bandwidth of a non-initial data unit of the plurality of data units to be narrower than the transmit bandwidth of the initial data unit. The station transmits, during the TXOP, the non-initial data unit. The non-initial data unit comprises a control field indicating the transmit bandwidth of the non-initial data unit.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for acknowledgement (ACK) transmission in a WLAN. A station receives a plurality of data frames from a plurality of other stations and then transmits an ACK for the plurality of data frames to the plurality of stations. The ACK is a multi-user (MU) block ACK frame which includes a plurality of block ACKs for the plurality of stations. One block ACK includes at least one ACK for at least one data frame that is received from one station.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods of transmitting and receiving a frame, which are performed by a station operating in a power save mode in a wireless LAN system. The method includes: transmitting a poll frame requesting the transmission of a buffered frame to an access point AP, wherein the poll frame includes a sustain time field that indicates a service section; and receiving at least one buffered frame from the AP within the sustain time in response to the poll frame. A method is provided for transmitting and receiving a frame executed by a station (STA) operating in a power sub mode in a wireless LAN system. The method includes transmitting a first poll frame requesting the transmission of a buffered frame to an access point AP, receiving an acknowledgement ACK frame in response to the first poll frame, and receiving at least one buffered frame from the AP.
