6. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the block acknowledgement has a frame format of a multi-traffic identifier (Multi-TIDY block acknowledgement and comprises an identifier representing that the corresponding frame is a block acknowledgement for the plurality of terminals.
7. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the block acknowledgement comprises identifier information or partial identifier information for the plurality of terminals that are reception targets of the corresponding frame.
8. An access point (AP) comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal; and
a processor configured to control an operation of the terminal,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
transmit a trigger frame for indicating simultaneous uplink data transmission of multi-users, receive uplink data transmitted by a plurality of terminals in response to the trigger frame, and transmit a block acknowledgement for the plurality of terminals having transmitted the uplink data,
wherein the trigger frame allocates at least one of a designated access slot and a random access slot for at least one terminal, and
wherein at least one of information about the number of designated access slot(s) and information about the number of random access slot(s) is indicated through the trigger frame.
9. A wireless communication method for a terminal comprising:
receiving, from an access point (API, a trigger frame indicating simultaneous uplink data transmission of multi-users;
transmitting uplink data to the AP in response to the trigger frame;
receiving, from the AP, a block acknowledgement for a plurality of terminals in response to the uplink data transmission,
wherein the trigger frame allocates at least one of a designated access slot and a random access slot allocated for at least one terminal, and
wherein at least one of information about the number of designated access slot(s) and information about the number of random access slot(s) is obtained through the trigger frame.
10. The wireless communication method of claim 9 , wherein the uplink data transmission is simultaneously performed by the plurality of terminals through channels allocated by orthogonal frequency-division multiple access.
11. The wireless communication method of claim 10 , wherein the uplink data transmission of the plurality of terminals is performed at a predetermined time in response to the reception of the trigger frame.
12. The wireless communication method of claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of terminals is allocated with at least one of a plurality of slots divided into at least one of a transmission time and a transmission channel, and transmits the uplink data using the at least one allocated slot.
13. The wireless communication method of claim 9 , wherein in the designated access slot, a terminal designated to the corresponding slot transmits uplink data, and wherein in the random access slot, a plurality of terminals contend to transmit uplink data.
14. The wireless communication method of claim 9 , wherein when the trigger frame indicates a random access slot, a preset value other than values between 1 and 2007 which are allocated to an association identifier (AID) of a terminal is designated as a value of an AID field included in the trigger frame.
15. The wireless communication method of claim 9 , wherein the block acknowledgement comprises identifier information or partial identifier information for the plurality of terminals that are reception targets of the corresponding frame.
16. A wireless communication terminal comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal; and
a processor configured to control an operation of the terminal,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
receive, from an access point (API, a trigger frame for indicating simultaneous uplink data transmission of multi-users, transmit uplink data to the AP in response to the trigger frame, and receive, from the AP, a block acknowledgement for the plurality of terminals in response to the uplink data transmission,
wherein the trigger frame allocates at least one of a designated access slot and a random access slot for at least one terminal, and
wherein at least one of information about the number of designated access slot(s) and information about the number of random access slot(s) is obtained through the trigger frame.
