  • Patent number: 10623133
    Abstract: The present specification proposes a signal processing method for changing an operating mode for configuring a physical-layer protocol data unit (PPDU). Specifically, a first station receives, from a second station, first indication information and second indication information, which indicate a change of an operating mode indicating a number of spatial streams and a channel bandwidth which are supported by the second station. The first station configures a PPDU for the second station using last received indication information of the first indication information and the second indication information. Here, the first indication information is received through an operating mode indication (OMI) field, the second indication information is received through an operating mode notification (OMN) field, and the OMI field and the OMN field are not received through the same PPDU.

  • Publication number: 20200045703
    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.
