Abstract

In a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, a transmission STA can transmit a PPDU via a 320 MHz channel, and a Medium Access Control (MAC) signal may be generated for the PPDU. The MAC signal may include puncturing pattern information and channel center frequency segment (CCFS) information for a 320 MHz band. The CCFS information may include a first CCFS field related to channel center frequency (CCF) information of a primary 160 MHz channel, and a second CCFS field related to CCF information of a 320 MHz channel.

Claims (41)

1. A method performed by a transmitting device in a wireless local area network (LAN) system, the method comprising:

generating a Medium Access Control (MAC) signal including channel center frequency segment (CCFS) information and puncturing information for a 320 MHz physical protocol data unit (PPDU),

wherein the CCFS information includes a first CCFS field related to channel center frequency (CCF) information of a primary 160 MHz channel, and a second CCFS field related to CCF information of a 320 MHz channel,

wherein the first CCFS field has a length of one octet, and the second CCFS field has a length of one octet,

wherein the puncturing information includes bitmap information related to at least one subchannel to be punctured within the 320 MHz PPDU; and

transmitting the MAC signal to a receiving device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating the 320 MHz PPDU based on the MAC signal; and

transmitting the 320 MHz PPDU to the receiving device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the 320 MHz PPDU is an extremely high throughput (EHT) PPDU.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the 320 MHz PPDU is transmitted through the 320 MHz channel including the primary 160 MHz channel.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MAC signal further includes a channel width field related to a bandwidth of the 320 MHz PPDU.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting device supports a multi-link communication related to a plurality of links, wherein the MAC signal further includes a link identifier (ID) related to at least one of the plurality of links supported by the transmitting device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MAC signal further includes capability information related to whether the transmitting device transmits the 320 MHz PPDU through a 6 GHz band.

8. A method performed by a receiving device in a wireless local area network (LAN) system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a transmitting device, a Medium Access Control (MAC) signal including channel center frequency segment (CCFS) information and puncturing information for a 320 MHz physical protocol data unit (PPDU),

wherein the CCFS information includes a first CCFS field related to channel center frequency (CCF) information of a primary 160 MHz channel, and a second CCFS field related to CCF information of a 320 MHz channel,

wherein the first CCFS field has a length of one octet, and the second CCFS field has a length of one octet,

wherein the puncturing information includes bitmap information related to at least one subchannel to be punctured within the 320 MHz PPDU; and

obtaining the CCFS information and the puncturing information.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving the 320 MHz PPDU generated based on the MAC signal.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the 320 MHz PPDU is an extremely high throughput (EHT) PPDU.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the 320 MHz PPDU is received through the 320 MHz channel including the primary 160 MHz channel.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the MAC signal further includes a channel width field related to a bandwidth of the 320 MHz PPDU.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the transmitting device supports a multi-link communication related to a plurality of links, wherein the MAC signal further includes a link identifier (ID) related to at least one of the plurality of links supported by the transmitting device.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the MAC signal further includes capability information related to whether the transmitting device transmits the 320 MHz PPDU through a 6 GHz band.

15. A receiving device in a wireless local area network (LAN) system, comprising:

a memory storing a received signal from a transmitting device; and

a processor coupled to the memory,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, from the transmitting device, a Medium Access Control (MAC) signal including channel center frequency segment (CCFS) information and puncturing information for a 320 MHz physical protocol data unit (PPDU),

wherein the CCFS information includes a first CCFS field related to channel center frequency (CCF) information of a primary 160 MHz channel, and a second CCFS field related to CCF information of a 320 MHz channel,

wherein the first CCFS field has a length of one octet, and the second CCFS field has a length of one octet,

wherein the puncturing information includes bitmap information related to at least one subchannel to be punctured within the 320 MHz PPDU; and

obtain the CCFS information and the puncturing information.

16. The receiving device of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive the 320 MHz PPDU generated based on the MAC signal.

17. The receiving device of claim 15 , wherein the 320 MHz PPDU is an extremely high throughput (EHT) PPDU.

18. The receiving device of claim 15 , wherein the 320 MHz PPDU is received through the 320 MHz channel including the primary 160 MHz channel.

19. The receiving device of claim 15 , wherein the MAC signal further includes a channel width field related to a bandwidth of the 320 MHz PPDU.

20. The receiving device of claim 15 , wherein the transmitting device supports a multi-link communication related to a plurality of links, wherein the MAC signal further includes a link identifier (ID) related to at least one of the plurality of links supported by the transmitting device.
