Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication method for power saving and a wireless communication terminal using the same, and more particularly, to a wireless communication method for efficiently conducting data transmission/reception of each terminal 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 receiving a distributed access group parameter for data transmission/reception by a group unit, wherein the distributed access group parameter comprises information about a number of groups assigned to a corresponding BSS, obtaining group information about the terminal based on the distributed access group parameter, and performing data transmission based on the obtained group information, and a wireless communication terminal using the same.

Claims (26)

1. A wireless communication terminal, the wireless communication terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a first trigger frame for soliciting uplink transmission of one or more terminals from an access point (AP), and

transmit a power save (PS)-poll frame in response to the first trigger frame,

wherein the first trigger frame is received during a specific time when a state of the wireless communication terminal is in an awake state, and

wherein the PS-poll frame is transmitted together with one or more other uplink frames transmitted from one or more other terminals in response to the first trigger frame.

2. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a downlink frame in response to the PS-poll frame,

wherein the downlink frame is transmitted from the AP when the PS-poll is successfully transmitted to the AP.

3. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the first trigger frame includes a-specific information soliciting whether a second trigger frame is transmitted continuously after a transmission of the first trigger frame.

4. The wireless communication terminal of claim 3 ,

wherein the first trigger frame and the second trigger frame are transmitted within the specific time.

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

receiving a first trigger frame for soliciting uplink transmission of one or more terminals from an access point (AP); and

transmitting a power save (PS)-poll frame in response to the first trigger frame,

wherein the first trigger frame is received during a specific time when a state of the wireless communication terminal is in an awake state, and

wherein the PS-poll frame is transmitted together with one or more other uplink frames transmitted from one or more other terminals in response to the first trigger frame.

6. The wireless communication method of claim 5 , the method further comprising:

receiving a downlink frame in response to the PS-poll frame,

wherein the downlink frame is transmitted from the AP when the PS-poll is successfully transmitted to the AP.

7. The wireless communication method of claim 5 :

wherein the first trigger frame includes a-specific information soliciting whether a next trigger frame is transmitted continuously after a transmission of the first trigger frame.

8. The wireless communication method of claim 7 ,

wherein the first trigger frame and the second trigger frame are transmitted within the specific time.
