Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication method for simultaneous data transmission and a wireless communication terminal using the same, and more particularly, a wireless communication method in which a plurality of terminals simultaneously transmit data for improving a data throughput in a high density environment, and a wireless communication terminal using the same. To this end, the present invention provides a wireless communication method for a terminal including transmitting a trigger frame indicating simultaneous uplink data transmission of multi-users, receiving uplink data transmitted by a plurality of terminals in response to the trigger frame, and transmitting a block acknowledgement for the plurality of terminals having transmitted the uplink data, and a wireless communication terminal using the same.

Claims (46)

1. A wireless communication method of a wireless communication terminal, the method comprising:

receiving, from an AP (access point), a trigger frame for allocating a resource and including an association identifier (AID) field,

transmitting an uplink data to the AP (access point) through the resource allocated from the AP, wherein the resource is a dedicated resource allocated to a specific terminal or a contention resource not allocated to the specific terminal for random access; and

receiving an Ack frame in response to the uplink data from AP,

wherein the Ack frame is a multi-STA BlockAck frame including acknowledgement information for multiple terminals, and

wherein the AID field in trigger corresponding to the contention resource is set to a preset value other than values of a predetermined range for AID assignment of each terminal when the resource is the contention resource that is not allocated to the specific terminal for the random access.

2. The wireless communication method of claim 1 ,

wherein the values of the predetermined range are values in a range of 1 to 2007.

3. The wireless communication method of claim 1 ,

wherein the uplink data is transmitted through a particular contention resource among at least one contention resource when the trigger frame allocates the at least one contention resource.

4. The wireless communication method of claim 1 ,

wherein the uplink data is transmitted through the dedicated resource allocated to the specific terminal without a contention when the dedicated resource is allocated, and

wherein the uplink data is transmitted through the contention resource not allocated to the specific terminal for the random access with the contention when the contention resource is allocated.

5. The wireless communication method of claim 1 ,

wherein a dedicated resource group consisting of at least one dedicated resource and a contention resource group consisting of at least one contention resource are classified into different channel or subchannel groups when the trigger frame allocates the at least one dedicated access slot and the at least one random access slot.

6. The wireless communication method of claim 5 ,

wherein at least one of information on the number of the at least one dedicated resource and information on the number of the at least one contention resource are indicated by the trigger frame.

7. The wireless communication method of claim 1 ,

wherein the uplink data is transmitted at a predetermined time in response to the trigger frame.

8. A wireless communication terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, from an AP (access point), a trigger frame for allocating a resource and including an association identifier (AID) field,

transmit an uplink data to the AP (access point) through the resource allocated from the AP, wherein the resource is a dedicated resource allocated to a specific terminal or a contention resource not allocated to the specific terminal for random access, and

receiving receive an Ack frame in response to the uplink data from AP,

wherein the Ack frame is a multi-STA BlockAck frame including acknowledgement information for multiple terminals, and

wherein the AID field in trigger corresponding to the contention resource is set to a preset value other than values of a predetermined range for AID assignment of each terminal when the resource is the contention resource that is not allocated to the specific terminal for the random access.

9. The wireless communication terminal of claim 8 ,

wherein the values of the predetermined range are values in a range of 1 to 2007.

10. The wireless communication terminal of claim 8 ,

wherein the uplink data is transmitted through a particular contention resource among at least one contention resource when the trigger frame allocates the at least one contention resource.

11. The wireless communication terminal of claim 8 ,

wherein the uplink data is transmitted through the dedicated resource allocated to the specific terminal without a contention when the dedicated resource is allocated, and

wherein the uplink data is transmitted through the contention resource not allocated to the specific terminal for the random access with the contention when the contention resource is allocated.

12. The wireless communication terminal of claim 8 ,

wherein a dedicated resource group consisting of at least one dedicated resource and a contention resource group consisting of at least one contention resource are classified into different channel or subchannel groups when the trigger frame allocates the at least one dedicated access slot and the at least one random access slot.

13. The wireless communication terminal of claim 12 ,

wherein at least one of information on the number of the at least one dedicated resource and information on the number of the at least one contention resource are indicated by the trigger frame.

14. The wireless communication terminal of claim 8 ,

wherein the uplink data is transmitted at a predetermined time in response to the trigger frame.

15. A wireless communication method of a wireless communication terminal, the method comprising:

transmitting an uplink data to an AP (access point) through a resource allocated from the AP, wherein the resource is a dedicated resource allocated to a specific terminal or a contention resource not allocated to the specific terminal for random access;

receiving an Ack frame in response to the uplink data from AP, wherein the Ack frame is a multi-STA BlockAck frame including acknowledgement information for multiple terminals; and

receiving, from the AP, a trigger frame for allocating the resource, wherein the trigger frame includes an association identifier (AID) field, and

wherein a dedicated resource group consisting of at least one dedicated resource and a contention resource group consisting of at least one contention resource are classified into different channel or subchannel groups when the trigger frame allocates the at least one dedicated access slot and the at least one random access slot.
