Abstract

The phase rotation relates to an apparatus and method of indicating a bandwidth in a wireless communication system. This disclosure discloses a wireless device comprising a transmission transmitting and receiving a wireless signal and a processor operating in operative connection with the transmission, wherein the processor generates a PPDU (physical protocol data unit) to which a phase rotation application is selectively applied depending on a case of bandwidth indication or a case of no bandwidth indication.

Claims (14)

1. A wireless device comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal; and

a processor configured to operate in operative connection with the transceiver and to generate a PPDU (physical protocol data unit),

wherein the PPDU is generated by selectively applying a phase rotation pattern according to whether a bandwidth indication is associated with the PPDU, such that the phase rotation pattern is not applied when the PPDU is associated with the bandwidth indication.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine whether the PPDU is associated with the bandwidth indication based on a TXVECTOR parameter denoting bandwidth exchange (BW_EXCHANGE).

3. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to generate a SIG field including one bit of DYN_BANDWIDTH denoting whether the bandwidth indication is dynamic or static.

4. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to generate the PPDU without applying the phase rotation pattern when the PPDU is a Ready To Send (RTS) PPDU associated with the bandwidth indication or a Clear To Send (CTS) PPDU associated with the bandwidth indication.

5. A method of performing a bandwidth indication by a wireless device in a wireless LAN system, the method comprising:

generating a PPDU (physical protocol data unit); and

transmitting the PPDU,

wherein the PPDU is generated by selectively applying a phase rotation pattern according to whether a bandwidth indication is associated with the PPDU, such that the phase rotation pattern is not applied when the PPDU is associated with the bandwidth indication.

6. The method of claim 5 , further including determining whether the PPDU is associated with the bandwidth indication based on a TXVECTOR parameter denoting bandwidth exchange (BW_EXCHANGE).

7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising generating a SIG field including one bit of DYN_BANDWIDTH denoting whether the bandwidth indication is dynamic or static.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the PPDU which is associated with the bandwidth indication is a Ready To Send (RTS) PPDU or a Clear To Send (CTS) PPDU.
