Method and device for carrying out sensing in wireless LAN system
In a wireless local area network (LAN) system, a sensing session comprises a first burst and a second burst, wherein, in the first burst, a transmitting STA may transmit a first sounding signal to a first receiving STA and a second receiving STA. In the first burst, the transmitting STA may receive, from the first receiving STA, a first feedback frame comprising first channel information between the transmitting STA and the first receiving STA, and, from the second receiving STA, a second feedback frame comprising channel information between the transmitting STA and the second receiving STA. In the second burst, the transmitting STA may receive a second sounding signal from the first receiving STA. In the second burst, the transmitting STA may receive, from the second receiving STA, a third feedback frame comprising channel information between the first receiving STA and the second receiving STA.
