Abstract

Proposed are a method and device for receiving a PPDU in a wireless LAN system. Specifically, a reception STA receives a PPDU from a transmission STA through a broadband and decodes the PPDU. The PPDU includes a control field and a data field. If the broadband is a 160/80+80 MHz band that includes a primary 80 MHz channel and a secondary 80 MHz channel, the data field is received via a second multiple RU in which 484-RU and a first multiple RU are aggregated. The first multiple RU is a multiple RU in which first and second 26-RUs, 52-RUs and 106-RUs are aggregated. The second multiple RU is allocated in the primary 80 MHz channel and the secondary 80 MHz channel.

Claims (54)

1. A method in a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) system, the method comprising:

receiving, by a receiving station (STA), an extremely high throughput (EHT) Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) from a transmitting STA; and

decoding, by the receiving STA, the EHT PPDU,

wherein the EHT PPDU includes a data field,

wherein a 484+242-tone multiple resource unit (MRU) is present in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) 80 MHz EHT PPDU,

wherein the 484+242-tone MRU is obtained by combining a 484-tone resource unit (RU) and a 242-tone RU within an 80 MHz frequency subblock,

wherein, for the OFDMA 80 MHz EHT PPDU, the 484+242-tone MRU is only defined based on a first 20 MHz subchannel being punctured,

wherein data subcarriers of the 484+242-tone MRU in the data field consist of a union of data subcarriers of the 484-tone RU and the 242-tone RU that make up the 484+242-tone MRU,

wherein the 242-tone RU is located in a second 20 MHz subchannel of the 80 MHz frequency subblock, and

wherein the 484-tone RU being adjacent to the 242-tone RU is located in third and fourth 20 MHz subchannels of the 80 MHz frequency subblock.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the 80 MHz frequency subblock includes the first to fourth 20 MHz subchannel,

wherein the first to fourth 20 MHz subchannels are arranged in order of frequency from lowest to highest,

wherein the 242-tone RU is an RU consisting of 242 tones,

wherein the 484-tone RU is an RU consisting of 484 tones.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the 484+242-tone MRU defined for the OFDMA 80 MHZ EHT PPDU applies to each 80 MHz frequency subblock of an OFDMA 160 MHz and 320 MHz EHT PPDU.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the EHT PPDU further includes a universal signal (U-SIG) field and an EHT signal (EHT-SIG) field,

wherein the U-SIG field includes two contiguous symbols,

wherein the U-SIG field includes version independent bits and version dependent bits being contiguous to the version independent bits,

wherein the version independent bits include 3 bit information related to a physical version of the EHT PPDU, 1 bit information related to an uplink/downlink (UL/DL) direction, a transmission opportunity (TXOP) information related to a TXOP duration, and a basic service set (BSS) color information related to a BSS identifier,

5. A receiving station (STA) in a wireless Local Area Network (LAN), the receiving STA comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively coupled to the memory and the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:
