Abstract: Disclosed are a method and device for bidirectional communication in a wireless LAN. The method of a first STA comprises the steps of: receiving, from an AP, a first frame including an information element indicating TXOP sharing; confirming a shared TXOP duration on the basis of the first frame; and communicating with a second STA within the shared TXOP duration.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for NSTR communication in a communication system supporting multiple links are disclosed. A method for a first device comprises the steps of: if a first backoff operation has succeeded on a first link belonging to a first pair of NSTR links on which an STR operation of a second device is not supported, transmitting a first data frame to the second device on the first link; performing a second backoff operation for transmission of a second data frame on a second link belonging to the first pair of NSTR links; if the second backoff operation has succeeded on the second link, identifying whether or not a transmission operation of the second device is performed on the first link belonging to the pair of NSTR links; and transmitting the second data frame to the second device on the second link.

Abstract: A memory device and operating method of the memory device are provided. The memory device comprises a memory cell storing data based on a first voltage, a row decoder selecting a wordline of the memory cell based on the first voltage, and a wordline predecoder configured to generate a “predec” signal, which is for generating a wordline voltage to be provided to the row decoder. The wordline predecoder is driven by the first voltage and a second voltage, which is different from the first voltage, receives a row address signal, associated with selecting the wordline, and an internal clock signal associated with adjusting operating timings of elements included in the memory device. The wordline predecoder performs a NAND operation on the row address signal and the internal clock signal, and provides the “predec” signal generated based on a result of the NAND operation to the row decoder.

Abstract: A method and a device for direct communication in a communication system supporting multiple links are disclosed. A method of an AP MLD comprises the steps of: transmitting a trigger frame in multiple links including a first link and a second link; receiving a response frame for the trigger frame from a first STA associated with an STA MLD in the first link; receiving a first data frame from a third STA in the second link; and when a subject to receive the first data frame is a second STA associated with the STA MLD, transmitting a second data frame generated on the basis of the first data frame, to the first STA in the first link.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomarker for neurodegenerative diseases, comprising glycotoxin, a specific protein bound to glycotoxin, or a glycotoxin-specific protein complex, and more specifically, the biomarker permits non-invasive rapid detection of a specific fluorescence from the skin surface and therefore can be used in early detection of cognitive impairment, and for a confirmed case of cognitive impairment, measures the mRNA expression level and protein level of the biomarker from living tissues such as skin and blood, and therefore is advantageously utilized in prediction, diagnosis, and the like of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and the like.
