Abstract

The present specification relates to a method for transmitting or receiving data by a station in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system and, more particularly, presents a method and device for transmitting or receiving data on the basis of a beamforming training method for a plurality of channels, when a station transmits the data by using the plurality of channels.

Claims (27)

1. A method for transmitting data in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system, the method comprising:

transmitting, by a first station (STA), a setup frame to a second STA, wherein the setup frame includes first information related to requested channels for a beam refinement, wherein the requested channels include a first channel and a second channel, wherein the first channel and the second channel are aggregated;

receiving, by the first STA, a response frame from the second STA, wherein the response frame includes second information matched to the first information;

performing first beamforming training on the first and second channels, wherein the first STA transmits a first Beam Refinement Protocol (BRP) frame to the second STA and receives a second BRP frame from the second STA through the first and second channels while performing the first beamforming training; and

transmitting, by the first STA, the data to the second STA through the first and second channels based on the first beamforming training,

wherein a training (TRN) field is appended to an end of the first BRP frame and an end of the second BRP frame.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing second beamforming training on the first and second channels,

wherein the performing of the second beamforming training comprises:

transmitting, by the first STA, at least one Sector Sweep (SSW) frame or a short SSW frame to the second STA through the first and second channel;

receiving an SSW acknowledgement (ACK) from the second STA through the first and second channel; and

determining first best sector information for the one channel based on the received SSW ACK.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the setup frame further includes third information related to whether the requested channels are aggregated to one another.

4. A first station (STA) transmitting data in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system, comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal; and

a processor configured to control the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver, a setup frame to a second STA, wherein the setup frame includes first information related to requested channels for a beam refinement, wherein the requested channels include a first channel and a second channel, wherein the first channel and the second channel are aggregated;

receive, via the transceiver, a response frame from the second STA, wherein the response frame includes second information matched to the first information;

perform first beamforming training on the first and second channels, wherein the processor transmits, via the transceiver, a first Beam Refinement Protocol (BRP) frame to the second STA and receives, via the transceiver, a second BRP frame from the second STA through the first and second channels while performing the first beamforming training; and

transmit, via the transceiver, the data to the second STA through the first and second channels based on the first beamforming training, wherein a training (TRN) field is appended to an end of the first BRP frame and an end of the second BRP frame.

5. The STA of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform second beamforming training on the first and second channels,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver, at least one Sector Sweep (SSW) frame or a short SSW frame to the second STA through the first and second channels;

receive, via the transceiver, an SSW acknowledgement (ACK) from the second STA through the first and second channels; and

determine best sector information for the one channel based on the received SSW ACK.

6. The STA of claim 4 , wherein the setup frame further includes third information related to whether the requested channels are aggregated to one another.
