Abstract

In a wireless local area network system, a station (STA) may transmit a low latency queue activation signal. The STA may receive a low latency queue activation approval signal. The present invention may comprise a step for transmitting data by the STA via a low latency queue.

Claims (26)

1. A method in a wireless local area network system, the method comprising:

receiving, by a station (STA) from an access point (AP), a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) including a legacy signal (L-SIG) field, a repeated legacy signal (RL-SIG) field which is contiguous to the L-SIG field and is a repeat of the L-SIG field, and a universal (U-SIG) field which is contiguous to the L-SIG,

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,

wherein the U-SIG field includes version independent bits and version dependent bits being contiguous to the version independent bits,

wherein the U-SIG field has a length of 2 symbols,

wherein the version independent bits include a first subfield related to a physical version of the PPDU, a second subfield related to a duration of transmission opportunity (TXOP) for the PPDU, and a third subfield related to Basic Service Set (BSS) color ID for the PPDU,

wherein the PPDU further includes a Medium Access Control (MAC) header related to a low latency (LL) traffic,

wherein the MAC header includes first information related to a traffic identifier (TID) of the LL traffic and second information related to an activation condition to activate a queue of the LL traffic in the STA; and

based on the PPDU, transmitting, by the STA, a signal carrying the LL traffic.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises,

transmitting, by the STA, a termination signal for the LL traffic.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises,

receiving, by the STA from an AP, additional allocation of resources for the LL traffic.

4. A station (STA) in a wireless local area network system, the STA comprises,

a transceiver for receiving a radio signal; and

a processor being coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, from the AP, a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) including a legacy signal (L-SIG) field, a repeated legacy signal (RL-SIG) field which is contiguous to the L-SIG field and is a repeat of the L-SIG field, and a universal (U-SIG) field which is contiguous to the L-SIG,

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,

wherein the U-SIG field includes version independent bits and version dependent bits being contiguous to the version independent bits,

wherein the U-SIG field has a length of 2 symbols,

wherein the version independent bits include a first subfield related to a physical version of the PPDU, a second subfield related to a duration of transmission opportunity (TXOP) for the PPDU, and a third subfield related to Basic Service Set (BSS) color ID for the PPDU,

wherein the PPDU further includes a Medium Access Control (MAC) header related to a low latency (LL) traffic,

wherein the MAC header includes first information related to a traffic identifier (TID) of the LL traffic and second information related to an activation condition to activate a queue of the LL traffic in the STA; and

based on the PPDU, transmitting, by the STA, a signal carrying the LL traffic.

5. The STA of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to,

transmit a termination signal for the LL traffic.
