Wireless communication method using OFDMA random access and wireless communication terminal using same
Provided is a wireless communication terminal that wirelessly communicates with a base wireless communication terminal. The wireless communication terminal includes a transceiver, and a processor. The processor is configured to set an integer selected from a range of 0 to a value equal to or smaller than an OFDMA Contention Window (OCW) as a counter for random access, receive a trigger frame for triggering random access using one or more resource units (RUs) allocated for the random access from the base wireless communication terminal using the transceiver, decrement a value of the counter based on the one or more RUs allocated for the random access, randomly select one RU based on the one or more RUs allocated for the random access when the value of the counter is 0 or reaches 0, and attempt transmission to the base wireless communication terminal using the selected RU.
1. A wireless communication terminal that wirelessly communicates with a base wireless communication terminal, the wireless communication terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
when the wireless communication terminal is associated to a BSS corresponding to a nontransmitted Basic Service Set Identification (BSSID) of a multiple BSSID set, set an OFDMA Contention Window (OCW) minimum value, which is a parameter indicating the minimum value of an OCW, and an OCW maximum value, which is a parameter indicating the maximum value of the OCW, according to UL OFDMA-based Random Access (UORA) parameter set element from a BSS corresponding to a transmitted BSSID of the multiple BSSID set,
set an integer selected from a range of 0 to a value equal to or smaller than the OCW as a counter for random access,
receive a trigger frame for triggering random access using one or more resource units (RUs) allocated for the random access from the base wireless communication terminal using the transceiver,
decrement a value of the counter based on the one or more RUs allocated for the random access and a capability of the wireless communication terminal, and
attempt transmission to the base wireless communication terminal when the value of the counter is 0 or reaches 0,
wherein the RU is a group of a plurality of subcarriers usable for uplink transmission and downlink transmission.
2. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured not to decrement the value of the counter based on a trigger frame transmitted from the BSS corresponding to the transmitted BS SID of the multiple BS SID set.
3. The wireless communication terminal of claim 2 , wherein the UORA parameter set received from the BSS corresponding to the transmitted BSSID is not a UORA parameter set indicated in a signaling field allocated for a BSS including the wireless communication terminal.
4. A method of operating a wireless communication terminal wirelessly communicating with a base wireless communication terminal, the method comprising:
when the wireless communication terminal is associated to a BSS corresponding to a nontransmitted Basic Service Set Identification (BSSID) of a multiple BSSID set, setting an OFDMA Contention Window (OCW) minimum value, which is a parameter indicating the minimum value of an OCW, and an OCW maximum value, which is a parameter indicating the maximum value of the OCW, according to UL OFDMA-based Random Access (UORA) parameter set element from a BSS corresponding to a transmitted BSSID of the multiple BSSID set;
setting an integer selected from a range of 0 to a value equal to or smaller than the OCW as a counter for random access;
receiving a trigger frame for triggering random access using one or more resource units (RUs) allocated for random access from the base wireless communication terminal;
decrementing a value of the counter based on the one or more RUs allocated for the random access and a capability of the wireless communication terminal; and
attempting transmission to the base wireless communication terminal when the value of the counter is 0 or reaches 0,
wherein the RU is a group of a plurality of subcarriers useable for OFDM communication.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein decrementing the value of the counter based on the one or more RUs allocated for the random access and the capability of the wireless communication terminal comprises not decrementing the value of the counter based on a trigger frame transmitted from the BSS corresponding to the transmitted BSSID of the multiple BSSID set.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the UORA parameter set received from the BSS corresponding to the transmitted BSSID is not a UORA parameter set indicated in a signaling field allocated for a BSS including the wireless communication terminal.
