a second wireless receiver configured to receive a signal modulated by a second modulation method which uses On-Off Keying and is different from the first modulation method; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

sequentially receive a plurality of fields of a wake-up radio (WUR) frame included in a WUR physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) transmitted by the second modulation method, and

when one or more predetermined conditions for the plurality of fields is satisfied, stop receiving the WUR frame without determining whether values of the plurality of fields are valid,

wherein the one or more predetermined conditions comprise a case where the wireless communication terminal is not an intended recipient of the WUR frame, and

wherein the plurality of fields comprise a plurality of reception terminal fields which are arranged in the WUR frame based on an order of a value of an identifier of the wireless communication terminal indicated by each of the plurality of reception terminal fields.

2. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine whether the wireless communication terminal is not the intended recipient of the WUR frame based on whether the WUR frame does not indicate the identifier of the wireless communication terminal as the recipient of the WUR frame.

3. The wireless communication terminal of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of reception terminal fields indicate a wireless communication terminal to receive the WUR frame, and

wherein the processor is configured to compare a value of the received reception terminal field with a value of the identifier of the wireless communication terminal and determine whether the wireless communication terminal is not the intended recipient of the WUR frame based on a result of the comparison.

4. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine whether the wireless communication terminal is not the intended recipient of the WUR frame based on whether the WUR frame does not indicate an identifier of a group including the wireless communication terminal as the recipient of the WUR frame.

5. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein when it is necessary to determine whether any one of the plurality of fields is valid even if the wireless communication terminal is not the intended recipient of the WUR frame, the processor is configured not to stop receiving the WUR frame.

6. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the one or more predetermined conditions comprise a case where the wireless communication terminal does not support the reception of the WUR frame.

7. The wireless communication terminal of claim 6 , wherein when the WUR frame has a length not supported by the wireless communication terminal, the processor is configured to determine that the wireless communication terminal does not support the reception of the WUR frame.

8. The wireless communication terminal of claim 6 , wherein when the WUR frame has a length not supported by the wireless communication terminal, the processor is configured to determine that the wireless communication terminal does not support the reception of the WUR frame.

9. The wireless communication terminal of claim 6 , wherein when the WUR frame is a type not supported by the wireless communication terminal, the processor is configured to determine that the wireless communication terminal does not support the reception of the WUR frame.

10. The wireless communication terminal of claim 6 , wherein when the WUR frame indicates a protocol not supported by the wireless communication terminal, the processor is configured to determine that the wireless communication terminal does not support the reception of the WUR frame.

11. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein when the one or more predetermined conditions for the plurality of fields are satisfied, the processor stops receiving the WUR frame without determining whether values of the plurality of fields of the WUR frame are valid through a frame check sequence (FCS) value generated based on the values of the plurality of fields.

12. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to stop receiving the radio signal modulated according to the second modulation method, and stops receiving the WUR frame by transmitting a command for requesting to restart clear channel assessment (CCA) from a medium access control (MAC) layer to a physical layer.

13. A method of operating a wireless communication terminal for wirelessly transmitting and receiving a signal modulated by a first modulation method, and receiving a signal modulated by a second modulation method which uses On-Off Keying and is different from the first modulation method, the method comprising:

sequentially receiving a plurality of fields of a wake-up radio (WUR) frame included in a WUR physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) transmitted by the second modulation method, and

when one or more predetermined conditions for the plurality of fields are satisfied, stopping receiving the WUR frame without determining whether values of the plurality of fields are valid,

wherein the one or more predetermined conditions comprise a case where the wireless communication terminal is not an intended recipient of the WUR frame, and

wherein the plurality of fields comprise a plurality of reception terminal fields which are arranged in the WUR frame based on an order of a value of an identifier of the wireless communication terminal indicated by each of the plurality of reception terminal fields.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the stopping the receiving the WUR frame comprises determining whether the wireless communication terminal is not the intended recipient of the WUR frame based on whether the WUR frame does not indicate the identifier of the wireless communication terminal as the recipient of the WUR frame.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of reception terminal fields indicate a wireless communication terminal to receive the WUR frame, and

wherein the processor is configured to compare a value of the received reception terminal field with a value of the identifier of the wireless communication terminal and determine whether the wireless communication terminal is not the intended recipient of the WUR frame based on a result of the comparison.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the stopping the receiving the WUR frame comprises determining whether the wireless communication terminal is not the intended recipient of the WUR frame based on whether the WUR frame does not indicate an identifier of a group including the wireless communication terminal as the recipient of the WUR frame.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the stopping the receiving the WUR frame comprises not stopping receiving the WUR frame when it is necessary to determine whether any one of the plurality of fields is valid even if the wireless communication terminal is not the intended recipient of the WUR frame.

18. The method of claim 13 , wherein the one or more predetermined conditions comprise a case where the wireless communication terminal does not support the reception of the WUR frame.
