Abstract

Disclosed is a method for transmitting and receiving a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) in a wireless communication system. A terminal receives a preamble of the PPDU from an access point (AP). The preamble includes a universal signal (U-SIG) field and an extremely high throughput (EHT)-SIG field, wherein the EHT-SIG field may be configured with at least one content channel on a frequency axis. Here, the number of the at least one content channel may be recognized on the basis of the U-SIG field. Subsequently, the terminal receives data of the PPDU on the basis of the U-SIG field and the EHT-SIG field.

Claims (45)

1. A terminal of a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a communication module; and

a processor configured to control the communication module,

wherein the processor is configured to,

receive a preamble of a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) from an access point (AP),

wherein the preamble comprises a universal signal (U-SIG) field and an extremely high throughput (EHT)-SIG field,

wherein the U-SIG field includes an uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) field indicating whether the PPDU is an unlink PPDU or a downlink PPDU, and a type field indicating a type of the PPDU, and

wherein the UL/DL field and the type field are used to identify whether the EHT-SIG field includes a resource unit (RU) allocation subfield, and

receive a data of the PPDU, based on the U-SIG field and the EHT-SIG field.

2. The terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the EHT-SIG field comprises at least one content channel on a frequency domain, and

wherein the number of the at least one content channel is recognized based on the U-SIG field.

3. The terminal of claim 2 ,

wherein, when the type field indicates an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) transmission, the number of the at least one content channel is two.

4. The terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the EHT-SIG field includes the RU allocation subfield when i) the UL/DL field indicates a downlink and ii) the type field indicates that a downlink OFDMA is applied.

5. The terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the EHT-SIG field does not include the RU allocation subfield when i) the UL/DL field indicates a downlink and ii) the type field indicates that a downlink OFDMA is not applied.

6. The terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein a modulation scheme of a second symbol of the U-SIG field is used to differentiate an extended range (ER) preamble from a multi user (MU) PPDU or a trigger based (TB) PPDU.

7. The terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the preamble of the PPDU is an extended range (ER) preamble when the modulation scheme of the second symbol is a quadrature binary phase shift keying (QBPSK).

8. The terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the type field is used to differentiate whether the PPDU is a multi user (MU) PPDU related to a single user or a trigger based (TB) PPDU.

9. A method for receiving data by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a preamble of a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) from an access point (AP),

wherein the preamble comprises a universal signal (U-SIG) field and an extremely high throughput (EHT)-SIG field,

wherein the U-SIG field includes an uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) field indicating whether the PPDU is an uplink PPDU or a downlink PPDU, and a type field indicating a type of the PPDU, and

wherein the UL/DL field and the type field are used to identify whether the EHT-SIG field includes a resource unit (RU) allocation subfield; and

receiving a data of the PPDU, based on the U-SIG field and the EHT-SIG field.

10. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the EHT-SIG field comprises at least one content channel on a frequency domain, and

wherein the number of the at least one content channel is recognized based on the U-SIG field.

11. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein, when the type field indicates an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) transmission, the number of the at least one content channel is two.

12. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the EHT-SIG field includes the RU allocation subfield when i) the UL/DL field indicates a downlink and ii) the type field indicates that a downlink OFDMA is applied.

13. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the EHT-SIG field does not include the RU allocation subfield when i) the UL/DL field indicates a downlink and ii) the type field indicates that a downlink OFDMA is not applied.

14. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein a modulation scheme of a second symbol of the U-SIG field is used to differentiate an extended range (ER) preamble from a multi user (MU) PPDU or a trigger based (TB) PPDU.

15. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the preamble of the PPDU is an extended range (ER) preamble when the modulation scheme of the second symbol is a quadrature binary phase shift keying (QBPSK).

16. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the type field is used to differentiate whether the PPDU is a multi user (MU) PPDU related to a single user or a trigger based (TB) PPDU.
