Method for transmitting or receiving frame in wireless LAN system and device therefor
According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method by which a station (STA) receives a wake-up radio (WUR) frame in a wireless LAN (WLAN) comprises the steps of: entering a WUR duty cycle mode in which an on-duration for which a WUR receiver of the STA is awake and an off-duration for which the WUR receiver of the STA is sleeping are alternately repeated; and turning on a primary connectivity radio (PCR) when a WUR frame is detected in the on-duration of the WUR duty cycle mode, wherein, when the WUR frame indicates reception of a PCR beacon frame or a delivery traffic indication map (DTIM), the STA can turn on the PCR after delaying a predetermined time from the detection of the WUR frame according to a time point at which the PCR beacon frame or the DTIM is transmitted.
1. A method performed by a station (STA) in a wireless local area network (WLAN), the method comprising:
entering a wake-up radio (WUR) mode in which an on-duration during which a WUR receiver of the STA is awake and an off-duration during which the WUR receiver is asleep are alternated;
receiving, from an access point (AP), a WUR frame during the on-duration of the WUR mode,
wherein the WUR frame includes a first part followed by a second part, wherein the first part includes a legacy-short training field (L-STF) followed by a legacy-long training field (L-LTF) followed by a legacy-signal (L-SIG), and wherein the second part includes a WUR control field followed by a WUR data field, and wherein the WUR control field and the WUR data field are configured based on an On Off Keying (OOK) modulation,
wherein a group address bufferable unit (BU) field having a length of one bit is configured in the WUR frame, and the group address BU field includes information related to whether group addressed frames are buffered at the AP;
determining whether to remain in a doze state of a primary connectivity radio (PCR) of the STA until a next delivery traffic indication map (DTIM) transmission time based on the group address BU field; and
turning on the PCR after a determination of whether to remain in the doze state, and receiving a group addressed BU.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the group address BU field is included in the WUR data field, and
wherein the STA determines to remain in the doze state until the next DTIM based on the group address BU field having a value of ‘1’.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the WUR data field is modulated based on a 13 subcarrier tone sequence and has a subcarrier spacing of 312.5 kHz.
4. A station (STA) configured to operate in a wireless local area network (LAN), the STA comprising:
wake-up radio (WUR) receiver; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
enter a WUR mode in which an on-duration during which the WUR receiver is awake and an off-duration during which the WUR receiver is asleep are alternated;
receive, from an access point (AP), a WUR frame during the on-duration of the WUR mode,
wherein the WUR frame includes a first part followed by a second part, wherein the first part includes a legacy-short training field (L-STF) followed by a legacy-long training field (L-LTF) followed by a legacy-signal (L-SIG), and wherein the second part includes a WUR control field followed by a WUR data field, and wherein the WUR control field and the WUR data field are configured based on an On Off Keying (OOK) modulation,
wherein a group address bufferable unit (BU) field having a length of one bit is configured in the WUR frame, and the group address BU field includes information related to whether group addressed frames are buffered at the AP;
determine whether to remain in a doze state of a primary connectivity radio (PCR) of the STA until a next delivery traffic indication map (DTIM) transmission time based on the group address BU field; and
turn on the PCR after a determination of whether to remain in the doze state, and receive a group addressed BU.
5. The station of claim 4 , wherein the group address BU field is included in the WUR data field, and
wherein the STA determines to remain in the doze state until the next DTIM based on the group address BU field having a value of ‘1’.
6. The station of claim 4 , wherein the WUR data field is modulated based on a 13 subcarrier tone sequence and has a subcarrier spacing of 312.5 kHz.
