Abstract

One example according to the present specification relates to a technique related to configuration of a preamble in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system. According to various embodiments, a receiving STA may receive an NDP frame. The NDP frame may comprise a first signal field and a second signal field. The first signal field may comprise first information about a PHY version. The second signal field may comprise second information about transmission of a PPDU, set on the basis of the first information. The receiving STA may perform channel sounding on the basis of the NDP frame.

Claims (42)

1. A method performed by a station (STA) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, the method comprising:

receiving an Extremely High Throughput (EHT) Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU),

wherein the EHT PPDU includes a legacy signal (L-SIG) field, a repeated L-SIG field which is a repeat of the L-SIG field, a universal signal (U-SIG) field, an EHT signal (EHT-SIG) field, and an EHT long training field (LTF) signal,

wherein the L-SIG field includes a length field, which is set to a value satisfying a condition that a remainder is zero when the length field is divided by three, and the remainder is used to differentiate the EHT PPDU from a High Efficiency (HE) PPDU,

wherein the U-SIG field includes first information related to a physical layer (PHY) version of the EHT PPDU, the first information has a length of 3 bits, and a value of the first information is used to identify a PHY version starting with EHT,

wherein the U-SIG field further includes 2-bit information indicating whether the EHT PPDU is related to a sounding Null Data PPDU (NDP),

wherein the U-SIG field has a length of two symbols,

wherein the EHT LTF signal is constructed based on an EHT-LTF sequence, and the EHT-LTF sequence for the sounding NDP is a 2×EHT-LTF sequence,

transmitting, based on the EHT PPDU, information related to channel state.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the EHT-SIG field includes a common field, and the common field does not include a subfield for resource under (RU) allocation for the sounding NDP.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to the channel state includes channel estimation information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the STA is a non-access point STA.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the STA is a non-access point STA.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the 2×EHT-LTF sequence includes non-zero elements with an interval of 2 sub-carriers.

7. A station (STA) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal;

a processor coupled to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is adapted to:

receive an Extremely High Throughput (EHT) Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU),

wherein the EHT PPDU includes a legacy signal (L-SIG) field, a repeated L-SIG field which is a repeat of the L-SIG field, a universal signal (U-SIG) field, an EHT signal (EHT-SIG) field, and an EHT long training field (LTF) signal,

wherein the L-SIG field includes a length field, which is set to a value satisfying a condition that a remainder is zero when the length field is divided by three, and the remainder is used to differentiate the EHT PPDU from a High Efficiency (HE) PPDU,

wherein the U-SIG field includes first information related to a physical layer (PHY) version of the EHT PPDU, the first information has a length of 3 bits, and a value of the first information is used to identify a PHY version starting with EHT,

wherein the U-SIG field further includes 2-bit information indicating whether the EHT PPDU is related to a sounding Null Data PPDU (NDP),

wherein the U-SIG field has a length of two symbols, and

wherein the EHT LTF signal is constructed based on an EHT-LTF sequence, and the EHT-LTF sequence for the sounding NDP is a 2×EHT-LTF sequence.

8. The STA of claim 7 , wherein the EHT-SIG field includes a common field, and the common field does not include a subfield for resource under (RU) allocation for the sounding NDP.

9. The STA of claim 7 , wherein the 2×EHT-LTF sequence includes non-zero elements with an interval of 2 sub-carriers.

10. A station (STA) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal;

a processor coupled to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is adapted to:

generate an Extremely High Throughput (EHT) Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU),

wherein the EHT PPDU includes a legacy signal (L-SIG) field, a repeated L-SIG field which is a repeat of the L-SIG field, a universal signal (U-SIG) field, an EHT signal (EHT-SIG) field, and an EHT long training field (LTF) signal,

wherein the L-SIG field includes a length field, which is set to a value satisfying a condition that a remainder is zero when the length field is divided by three, and the remainder is used to differentiate the EHT PPDU from a High Efficiency (HE) PPDU,

wherein the U-SIG field includes first information related to a physical layer (PHY) version of the EHT PPDU, the first information has a length of 3 bits, and a value of the first information is used to identify a PHY version starting with EHT,

wherein the U-SIG field further includes 2-bit information indicating whether the EHT PPDU is related to a sounding Null Data PPDU (NDP),

wherein the U-SIG field has a length of two symbols, and

wherein the EHT LTF signal is constructed based on an EHT-LTF sequence, and the EHT-LTF sequence for the sounding NDP is a 2×EHT-LTF sequence.

11. The STA of claim 10 , wherein the EHT-SIG field includes a common field, and the common field does not include a subfield for resource under (RU) allocation for the sounding NDP.

12. The STA of claim 10 , wherein the STA is an access point STA.

13. The STA of claim 10 , wherein the sounding NDP is transmitted to a non-access point STA.

14. The STA of claim 10 , wherein the 2×EHT-LTF sequence includes non-zero elements with an interval of 2 sub-carriers.
