Abstract

An example according to the present specification relates to a technique relating to a configuration of a preamble in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system. A transmitting STA may generate and transmit an EHT PPDU. The EHT PPDU may include an L-SIG field, an RL-SIG field, and a control field. A result of “modulo 3 operation” to a length field value of the L-SIG field may be set to “0”. The RL-SIG field may be configured the same as the L-SIG field. The control field may include 3-bit information relating to a version of a PPDU.

Claims (32)

1. A method performed by a transmitting station (STA) in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) system, the method comprising:

generating an Extreme High Throughput Physical Protocol Data Unit (EHT PPDU) including a legacy signal (L-SIG) field, a repeated L-SIG (RL-SIG) field, and a control field,

wherein each of the L-SIG field, the RL-SIG field, and the control field is modulated based on Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK),

wherein the RL-SIG field is contiguous to the L-SIG field, and the control field is contiguous to the RL-SIG field,

wherein a result of a “module 3 operation” to a value of a length field of the L-SIG field is set to “0”,

wherein the RL-SIG field is configured to be the same as the L-SIG field,

wherein the control field includes 3-bit information related to a packet version of a PPDU,

wherein the 3-bit information indicates the EHT PPDU or a PPDU for a next-generation WLAN standard, and

wherein the control field includes first information related to a basic service set (BSS) color having a length of 6 bits, and second information related to a Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) having a length of 7 bits; and

transmitting the EHT PPDU,

wherein the control field is transmitted through two symbols.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting STA is an access point (AP) or a non-AP STA.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the length field is set based on a transmission time of the EHT PPDU.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the EHT PPDU further comprises an EHT signal (EHT-SIG) field.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control field includes a Universal Signal (U-SIG) field.

6. A transmitting station (STA) in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) system, comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operatively connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

generating an Extreme High Throughput Physical Protocol Data Unit (EHT PPDU) including a legacy signal (L-SIG) field, a repeated L-SIG (RL-SIG) field, and a control field,

wherein each of the L-SIG field, the RL-SIG field, and the control field is modulated based on Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK),

wherein the RL-SIG field is contiguous to the L-SIG field, and the control field is contiguous to the RL-SIG field,

wherein a result of a “modulo 3 operation” to a value of a length field of the L-SIG field is set to “0”,

wherein the RL-SIG field is configured to be the same as the L-SIG field,

wherein the control field includes 3-bit information related to a packet version of a PPDU,

wherein the 3-bit information indicates the EHT PPDU or a PPDU for a next-generation WLAN standard, and

wherein the control field includes first information related to a basic service set, BSS, color having a length of 6 bits, and second information related to a Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) having a length of 7 bits; and

transmitting the EHT PPDU,

wherein the control field is transmitted through two symbols.

7. The transmitting STA of claim 6 , wherein the EHT PPDU further includes an EHT signal (SIG) field.

8. The transmitting STA of claim 6 , wherein the control field is a Universal Signal (U-SIG) field.

9. The transmitting STA of claim 6 , wherein the transmitting STA is an access point (AP) or a non-AP STA.

10. The transmitting STA of claim 6 , wherein the length field is set based on a transmission length of the EHT PPDU.
