  • Patent number: 10470186
    Abstract: Proposed is a method for determining transmission using a network allocation vector (NAV) in a wireless LAN system. Specifically, after a receiving device receives a trigger frame, which triggers an uplink multiple user transmission, from a transmitting device, whether to transmit an uplink physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) corresponding to the trigger frame is determined using the NAV of the receiving device. In this case, if the NAV is established by an intra-basic service set (BSS) frame, whether to transmit the uplink PPDU is determined without taking the NAV into consideration.

  • Patent number: 10433158
    Abstract: The specification proposes a signal processing method for changing an operating mode for configuring a PPDU in a wireless LAN system. More specifically, a change in the operating mode may be carried out during a time interval known to both a transmitting station and a receiving station. The time interval during which the change in the operating mode is carried out may be explicitly signaled or implicitly notified. For example, in case a change to a new operating mode is requested during a transmission opportunity (TXOP), the change in the operating mode may be delayed until a subsequent TXOP, and the new operating mode may be applied during the subsequent TXOP.

  • Patent number: 10432354
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device for recovering an error without the retransmission of a data frame in a wireless LAN. The method for recovering an error in a wireless LAN may comprise the steps in which: a sender STA transmits a data frame to a receiver STA; if the sender STA does not receive a block ACK frame of the data frame from the receiver STA, the sender STA determines the reason for the non-reception of the data frame; if the sender STA determines that the reason for the non-reception of the data frame is the failure of transmission of the block ACK frame after the receiver STA receives the data frame, the sender STA transmits a PBAR data frame to the receiver STA; and the sender STA receives a PBAR block ACK frame from the receiver STA as a response to the PBAR data frame.

  • Patent number: 10433337
    Abstract: A method for performing, by a station (STA) apparatus, uplink (UL) multi-user (MU) transmission in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes performing carrier sensing on a channel, receiving a trigger frame including information for UL MU transmission and a carrier sense indicator indicating whether a result of the carrier sensing is to be reflected from an access point (AP), and transmitting an UL MU frame through the channel based on the information for UL MU transmission. The UL MU frame is transmitted through the channel based on a result of the carrier sensing if the carrier sense indicator indicates the reflection of a result of the carrier sensing. The UL MU frame is transmitted through the channel regardless of a result of the carries sensing if the carrier sense indicator does not indicate the reflection of a result of the carrier sensing.

  • Patent number: 10425209
    Abstract: An ACK signal processing method that can be used in a wireless LAN system is proposed. Various information that can be used for a downlink MU PPDU for multiple receiving stations may be proposed, and, for example, in order to omit the re-transmission of the related art, information requesting an ACK or Block ACK corresponding to previously transmitted data may be included. If an immediate acknowledgement (ACK) frame fails to be received after the MU-PPDU is transmitted from the AP, a Block ACK may be requested. In this case, while a Block ACK is requested, a radio resource through which a Block ACK is delivered may be allocated.
