Method and apparatus for receiving signal by station in wireless LAN system
Disclosed is a method for transmitting and receiving a signal by a station (STA) in a wireless LAN system, the method comprising the steps of: performing clear channel assessment (CCA); when electric power equal to or larger than a predetermined level is detected as a result of the CCA, transmitting, to an AP, a request relating to configuration of an interval; and receiving interval information as a response to the request, wherein when the electric power equal to or larger than the predetermined level has resulted from uplink transmission, the received interval information is information synchronized with interval information of a basic service set (BSS) relating to the uplink transmission.
1. A method to perform transmission and reception by a station (STA) in a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) system, comprising:
performing clear channel assessment (CCA);
transmitting a request relating to configuration of an uplink interval to an Access Point (AP) when power of an uplink transmission channel is equal to or higher than a first predetermined level is detected as a result of the CCA; and
receiving interval information as a response to the request,
wherein the received interval information is information synchronized with interval information of a basic service set (BSS) relating to the uplink transmission channel when the power of the uplink transmission channel is equal to or higher than the first predetermined level has resulted from the uplink transmission channel,
wherein the received interval information is at least related to one of a restricted access window (RAW) and a transmission opportunity (TXOP) time duration, and
wherein the channel access of the STA is prohibited in the uplink interval corresponding to the received interval information when power of a downlink transmission channel is equal to or higher than a second predetermined level has resulted from the downlink transmission channel.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a link direction of the received interval information is the same as a link direction of the interval information of the BSS relating to the uplink transmission channel.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the STA performs transmission or reception in a slot corresponding to an association identifier (AID) thereof in a link direction corresponding to the RAW including the slot.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the interval information is transmitted through a beacon frame.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the STA performs transmission or reception in the TXOP time duration in a link direction set in the TXOP time duration.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein information about the TXOP truncation is transmitted to an AP of the BSS relating to the uplink transmission when TXOP truncation is applied to the TXOP time duration.
7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising receiving a ready to send (RTS) frame transmitted from an STA relating to the uplink transmission channel,
wherein, when the STA does not receive a clear to send (CTS) frame within a predetermined time after receiving the RTS frame, the STA is determined to be located outside the coverage of the AP of the BSS relating to the uplink transmission channel.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the STA is located outside the coverage of the AP of the BSS relating to the uplink transmission when a BSS to which the STA belongs includes the coverage of the AP of the BSS relating to the uplink transmission channel.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the request relating to configuration of an interval includes a request for a beam pattern different from a beam pattern used in the BSS relating to the uplink transmission channel.
10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising transmitting a probe request frame to the AP,
wherein the probe request frame includes an indication indicating whether a direct probe response to the probe request frame is received.
11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the indication is determined on the basis of whether the STA is a delay-tolerant (DT) STA or a delay-sensitive (DS) STA.
12. A station (STA) in a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) system, comprising:
a transceiver module; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
perform Clear Channel Assessment (CCA),
transmit a request relating to configuration of an uplink interval to an Access Point when power of an uplink transmission channel is equal to or higher than a first predetermined level is detected as a result of the CCA and to receive interval information as a response to the request,
wherein the received interval information is information synchronized with interval information of a basic service set (BSS) relating to the uplink transmission channel when the power of the uplink transmission channel is equal to or higher than the first predetermined level has resulted from the uplink transmission channel,
wherein the received interval information is at least related to one of a restricted access window (RAW) and a transmission opportunity (TXOP) time duration, and
wherein the channel access of the STA is prohibited in the uplink interval corresponding to the received interval information when power of a downlink transmission channel is equal to or higher than a second predetermined level has resulted from the downlink transmission channel.
