  • Publication number: 20210168868
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for transmitting a PPDU in a WLAN system are proposed. Particularly, a transmission device receives configuration information relating to a multi-band. The transmission device performs channel sensing with respect to the multi-band. The transmission device transmits PPDUs to a reception device via the multi-band on the basis of the result of the channel sensing. In the multi-hand, a first band and a second band are combined. The first band includes a first primary channel. The second band includes a second primary channel. The channel sensing is performed on the basis of a first CW value which is set in common for the first and second bands. If transmission of some PPDUs allocated to the second band of the PPDUs fails, the first CW value is increased.
