Abstract

One embodiment according to the present specification relates to a method for performing low latency communication. A transmitting STA can transmit a low latency communication notification frame including information related to a section for low latency communication. The transmitting STA and a receiving STA can perform low latency communication in the section for low latency communication on the basis of the low latency communication notification frame. Afterward, the transmitting STA can transmit a low latency communication termination frame. The transmitting STA and the receiving STA can terminate the section for low latency communication on the basis of the low latency communication termination frame.

Claims (35)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a station (STA), a first Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) including a first management frame, wherein the first management frame includes information related to a duration for low latency communication;

transmitting, by the STA, a trigger frame soliciting a trigger based (TB) PPDU with the duration;

receiving, by the STA, the TB PPDU including low latency data based on the trigger frame, wherein the TB PPDU includes a legacy signal (L-SIG) field, a repeated L-SIG (RL-SIG) field being contiguous to the L-SIG field, and a first signal field being contiguous to the RL-SIG field,

wherein the L-SIG field includes a length field, and a value of the length field is set to satisfy a condition that a remainder is zero (0) when the value of the length field is divided by three (3),

wherein the first SIG field includes first information related to a PPDU type, second information related to an identifier of a basic service set (BSS), third information indicating duration information related to a transmission opportunity (TXOP), fourth information related to whether the PPDU is sent in uplink (UL) or in downlink (DL), fifth information related to a bandwidth, and sixth information having a length of 3 bits and indicating a physical (PHY) version of the PPDU; and

transmitting, by the STA, a second PPDU including a second management frame, wherein the second management frame includes information for terminating the duration.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the low latency data includes data requiring a time latency value less than or equal to a threshold value.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the low latency data is received, based on channel contention, within the duration for the low latency communication, wherein the low latency data includes data requiring a time latency value less than or equal to a threshold value.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the duration is configured in at least one link among a plurality of links.

5. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a station (STA), a first Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) including a first management frame, wherein the first management frame includes information related to a duration for low latency communication;

receiving, by the STA, a trigger frame soliciting a trigger based (TB) PPDU with the duration;

transmitting, by the STA, the TB PPDU including low latency data based on the trigger frame, wherein the TB PPDU includes a legacy signal (L-SIG) field, a repeated L-SIG (RL-SIG) field being contiguous to the L-SIG field, and a first signal field being contiguous to the RL-SIG field,

wherein the L-SIG field includes a length field, and a value of the length field is set to satisfy a condition that a remainder is zero (0) when the value of the length field is divided by three (3),

wherein the first SIG field includes first information related to a PPDU type, second information related to an identifier of a basic service set (BSS), third information indicating duration information related to a transmission opportunity (TXOP), fourth information related to whether the PPDU is sent in uplink (UL) or in downlink (DL), fifth information related to a bandwidth, and sixth information having a length of 3 bits and indicating a physical (PHY) version of the PPDU; and

receiving, by the STA, a second PPDU including a second management frame, wherein the second management frame includes information for terminating the duration.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the low latency data includes data requiring a time latency value less than or equal to a threshold value.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the low latency data is received, based on channel contention, within the duration for the low latency communication, wherein the low latency data includes data requiring a time latency value less than or equal to a threshold value.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the duration is configured in at least one link among a plurality of links.

9. A station (STA), comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operatively connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

transmitting, by a station (STA), a first Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) including a first management frame, wherein the first management frame includes information related to a duration for low latency communication;

transmitting, by the STA, a trigger frame soliciting a trigger based (TB) PPDU with the duration;

receiving, by the STA, the TB PPDU including low latency data based on the trigger frame, wherein the TB PPDU includes a legacy signal (L-SIG) field, a repeated L-SIG (RL-SIG) field being contiguous to the L-SIG field, and a first signal field being contiguous to the RL-SIG field,

wherein the L-SIG field includes a length field, and a value of the length field is set to satisfy a condition that a remainder is zero (0) when the value of the length field is divided by three (3),

wherein the first SIG field includes first information related to a PPDU type, second information related to an identifier of a basic service set (BSS), third information indicating duration information related to a transmission opportunity (TXOP), fourth information related to whether the PPDU is sent in uplink (UL) or in downlink (DL), fifth information related to a bandwidth, and sixth information having a length of 3 bits and indicating a physical (PHY) version of the PPDU; and

transmitting, by the STA, a second PPDU including a second management frame, wherein the second management frame includes information for terminating the duration.

10. The STA of claim 9 , wherein the low latency data includes data requiring a time latency value less than or equal to a threshold value.

11. The STA of claim 9 , wherein the low latency data is received, based on channel contention, within the duration for the low latency communication, wherein the low latency data includes data requiring a time latency value less than or equal to a threshold value.

12. The STA of claim 9 , wherein the duration is configured in at least one link among a plurality of links.
