Abstract

A method and a device for transmitting and receiving PPDU on the basis of FDR in a wireless LAN system are presented. More particularly, an AP transmits a trigger frame to an STA. The AP transmits downlink (DL) PPDU to the STA on the basis of the AP trigger frame. The AP receives uplink (UL) PPDU from the STA on the basis of the trigger frame. The trigger frame includes a first common information field. The first common information field includes a trigger type field, a length field, and a bandwidth field. The length field comprises information on the length of the longest PPDU of the DL PPDU and the UL PPDU. The bandwidth field comprises information on the total bandwidth over which the DL PPDU and the UL PPDU are transmitted. The DL PPDU and the UL PPDU are transmitted and received on the basis of FDR.
