Abstract

Proposed are a method and apparatus for receiving a PPDU in a wireless LAN system. Specifically, a reception STA receives a PPDU from a transmission STA through a broadband and decodes the PPDU. The PPDU includes a control field and a data field. When the broadband is a 320/160+160 MHz band including first to fourth 80 MHz sub-channels, the first 80 MHz sub-channel includes a first 996 RU, the second 80 MHz sub-channel includes a second 996 RU, the third 80 MHz sub-channel includes a third 996 RU, and the fourth 80 MHz sub-channel includes a first 484 RU. The data field is received through a first multiple RU in which the first to third 996 RUs and the first 484 RU are aggregated.

Claims (68)

1. A method in a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) system, the method comprising:

receiving, by a receiving station (STA), a Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) from a transmitting STA; and

decoding, by the receiving STA, the PPDU,

wherein the PPDU includes a data field,

wherein based on a bandwidth of the PPDU being 320 MHz, the data field is received through a 3×996+484-tone multiple resource unit (MRU),

wherein the 3×996+484-tone MRU is allowed when a 40 MHz subchannel is punctured in the bandwidth of the PPDU,

wherein the 3×996+484-tone MRU is obtained by combining three 996-tone RUs and a 484-tone RU,

wherein the bandwidth of the PPDU includes a primary 80 MHz channel, a secondary 80 MHz channel and a secondary 160 MHz channel, and

wherein the primary 80 MHz channel includes a primary 20 MHz channel that is not punctured.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PPDU is received based on a non-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (non-OFDMA) scheme,

wherein the PPDU further includes a control field,

wherein the control field includes allocation information on the 3×996+484-tone MRU,

wherein the 996-tone RU is an RU consisting of 996 tones,

wherein the 484-tone RU is an RU consisting of 484 tones.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control field further includes allocation information on a 3×996-tone MRU in addition to the 3×996+484-tone MRU,

wherein the 3×996-tone MRU is allowed when an 80 MHz subchannel is punctured in the bandwidth of the PPDU, and

wherein the 3×996-tone MRU is obtained by combining three 996-tone RUs.

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein the primary 80 MHz channel is not punctured.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control field further includes allocation information on a 2×996+484-tone MRU in addition to the 3×996+484-tone MRU,

wherein the 2×996+484-tone MRU is allowed when a 40 MHz subchannel and an 80 MHz subchannel are punctured in the bandwidth of the PPDU, and

wherein the 2×996+484-tone MRU is obtained by combining two 996-tone RUs and a 484-tone RU.

6. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the primary 80 MHz channel includes a primary 40 MHz channel and a secondary 40 MHz channel,

wherein the primary 40 MHz channel or the primary 80 MHz channel is not punctured.

7. A receiving station (STA) in a wireless Local Area Network (LAN), the receiving STA comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively coupled to the memory and the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) from a transmitting STA; and

decode the PPDU,

wherein the PPDU includes a data field,

wherein based on a bandwidth of the PPDU being 320 MHz, the data field is received through a 3×996+484-tone multiple resource unit (MRU),

wherein the 3×996+484-tone MRU is allowed when a 40 MHz subchannel is punctured in the bandwidth of the PPDU,

wherein the 3×996+484-tone MRU is obtained by combining three 996-tone RUs and a 484-tone RU,

wherein the bandwidth of the PPDU includes a primary 80 MHz channel, a secondary channel and a secondary 160 MHz channel, and

wherein the primary 80 MHz channel includes a primary 20 MHz channel that is not punctured.
