Wireless communication terminal and wireless communication method for multi-user concurrent transmission
The present invention relates to a wireless communication terminal and a wireless communication method for efficiently managing simultaneous data transmissions of a plurality of terminals. To this end, provided are a base wireless communication terminal including: a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal; and a processor configured to control an operation of the base wireless communication terminal, wherein the processor is configured to: transmit a trigger frame triggering a multi-user uplink transmission of a plurality of terminals, receive multi-user uplink data through resources allocated to the plurality of terminals, and transmit a block ACK through the resources in response to the received multi-user uplink data, wherein the transmission of the block ACK in each resource is terminated at the same time, and a wireless communication method using the same.
1. A wireless communication terminal, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a trigger frame including an association identifier (AID) field for assigning an AID and a frame check sequence (FCS) field,
identify whether the trigger frame is padded based on the AID field,
wherein a value of each of a plurality of bits included in the AID field is a same value when the trigger frame is padded, and
wherein the AID field is contained before the FCS field included in the trigger frame.
2. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,
wherein a padding of the trigger frame is used for processing time for preparing a frame based on the trigger frame.
3. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,
wherein a padding of the trigger frame is used to adjust a length of the trigger frame.
4. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,
wherein the each of the plurality of bits included in the AID field is duplicated and inserted with the same value when the trigger frame is padded.
5. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,
wherein all bits included in the AID field are set to ‘1’, respectively, when the trigger frame is padded.
6. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,
wherein the trigger frame further includes a padding field between a previous AID field of the AID field indicating that the trigger frame is padded and the FCS field when the trigger frame is padded.
7. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,
when all bits included in the AID field are set to ‘1’, respectively, and the trigger frame is padded,
wherein the trigger frame further includes a padding field, and
wherein the AID field indicates a start of the padding field of the trigger frame.
8. A wireless communication method of a wireless communication terminal, comprising:
receiving a trigger frame including an association identifier (AID) field for assigning an AID and a frame check sequence (FCS) field; and
identifying whether the trigger frame is padded based on the AID field,
wherein a value of each of a plurality of bits included in the AID field is a same value when the trigger frame is padded, and
wherein the AID field is contained before the FCS field included in the trigger frame.
9. The wireless communication method of claim 8 ,
wherein a padding of the trigger frame is used for processing time for preparing a frame based on the trigger frame.
10. The wireless communication method of claim 8 ,
wherein a padding of the trigger frame is used to adjust a length of the trigger frame.
11. The wireless communication method of claim 8 ,
wherein the each of the plurality of bits included in the AID field is duplicated and inserted with the same value when the trigger frame is padded.
12. The wireless communication method of claim 8 ,
wherein all bits included in the AID field are set to ‘1’, respectively, when the trigger frame is padded.
13. The wireless communication method of claim 8 ,
wherein the trigger frame further includes a padding field between a previous AID field of the AID field indicating that the trigger frame is padded and the FCS field when the trigger frame is padded.
14. The wireless communication method of claim 8 , when all bits included in the AID field are set to ‘1’, respectively, and the trigger frame is padded,
wherein the trigger frame further includes a padding field, and
wherein the AID field indicates a start of the padding field of the trigger frame.
