Method and device for triggering plurality of PS-poll frames in wireless LAN
Disclosed are a method and a device for triggering a plurality of PS-poll frames in a wireless LAN. The method for triggering a plurality of PS-poll frames in a wireless LAN can comprise the steps of: transmitting, by an AP, a beacon frame; transmitting, by the AP, a first PS-poll trigger frame within a beacon interval; receiving, by the AP, a plurality of first PS-poll frames transmitted on the basis of a UL MU transmission by a first STA group as a response to the first PS-poll trigger frame; transmitting, by the AP, a plurality of first downlink data frames to a plurality of STAs on the basis of a DL MU transmission as a response to the plurality of first PS-poll frames; transmitting, by the AP, a second PS-poll trigger frame within a beacon interval; receiving, by the AP, a plurality of second PS-poll frames transmitted on the basis of the UL MU transmission by a second STA group as a response to the second PS-poll trigger frame; and transmitting, by the AP, a plurality of second downlink data frames to the plurality of STAs on the basis of the DL MU transmission as a response to the plurality of second PS-poll frames.
1. A method in wireless local area network (WLAN), the method comprising:
receiving, by a station (STA) from an access point (AP), a beacon frame including transmission time offset information related to transmission of a trigger frame,
wherein the trigger frame is used for triggering uplink multi-user (UL-MU) transmission from a plurality of STA;
entering, by the STA, a doze state after receiving the beacon frame;
entering, by the STA, an awake state from the doze state based on the transmission time offset information;
during the awake state, receiving, by the STA from the AP, the trigger frame based on the transmission time offset information,
wherein the trigger frame includes association identifiers (AIDs) of the plurality of STAs and frequency resource information used for the UL-MU transmission; and
in response to the trigger frame, transmitting, by the STA, a power save (PS) poll frame to the AP based on the frequency resource information.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of UL frames are simultaneously transmitted from the plurality of STAs to the AP during the UL-MU transmission.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission time offset information includes time-offset information for the trigger frame.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the frequency resource information includes a plurality of UL resource fields which are used for the plurality of STAs, respectively.
5. A station (STA) operating in wireless local area network (WLAN), comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and
a processor configured to control the transceiver,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
receive, via the transceiver from an access point (AP), a beacon frame including transmission time offset information related to transmission of a trigger frame,
wherein the trigger frame is used for triggering uplink multi-user (UL-MU) transmission from a plurality of STAs;
enter a doze state after receiving the beacon frame;
enter an awake state from the doze state based on the transmission time offset information;
during the awake state, receive, via the transceiver from the AP, the trigger frame based on the transmission time offset information,
wherein the trigger frame includes association identifiers (AIDs) of the plurality of STAs and frequency resource information used for the UL-MU transmission; and
in response to the trigger frame, transmit via the transceiver a power save (PS) poll frame to the AP based on the frequency resource information.
6. The STA of claim 5 , wherein a plurality of UL frames are simultaneously transmitted from the plurality of STAs to the AP during the UL-MU transmission.
7. The STA of claim 5 , wherein the transmission time offset information includes time-offset information for the trigger frame.
8. The STA of claim 5 , wherein the frequency resource information includes a plurality of UL resource fields which are used for the plurality of STAs, respectively.
