Abstract

Proposed are a method and apparatus for receiving a PPDU in a wireless LAN system. Specifically, a reception STA receives a PPDU from a transmission STA via a broadband and decodes the PPDU. The PPDU includes a control field and a data field. When the broadband is a band of 320/160+160 MHz including a primary channel of 160 MHz and a secondary channel of 160 MHz, the data field is received via a first multiple RU in which a 996-RU and a 484-RU are aggregated. The first multiple RU is allocated within the primary channel of 160 MHz or the secondary channel of 160 MHz.

Claims (61)

1 . A method in a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) system, the method comprising:

receiving, by a receiving station (STA), a Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) through a 320 MHz band from a transmitting STA; and

decoding, by the receiving STA, the PPDU,

wherein the PPDU includes a control field and a data field,

wherein the 320 MHz band includes a primary 160 MHz channel and a secondary 160 MHz channel,

wherein the data field is received through first multiple resource units (RUs) being a combination of a 996-tone RU and a 484-tone RU,

wherein the PPDU is received based on an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) scheme, and

wherein the combination of the 996-tone RU and the 484-tone RU is allocated in the primary 160 MHz channel, and the combination of the 996-tone RU and the 484-tone RU is allocated in the secondary 160 MHz channel.

2 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the control field includes allocation information on the first multiple RUs,

wherein other RUs or multiple RUs other than the first multiple RUs in the 320 MHz band are punctured or allocated for a receiving STA other than the receiving STA,

wherein the 996-tone RU is an RU consisting of 996 tones,

wherein the 484-tone RU is an RU consisting of 484 tones.

3 . The method of claim 1 , whereinbased on a first channel in the 320 MHz band being punctured, a second channel excluding the first channel is at least one 20 MHz channel among the primary 160 MHz and the secondary 160 MHz channels.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the 320 MHz band including first to fourth 80 MHz subchannels,

the data field is received through second multiple RUs being a combination of a 484-tone RU and a 242-tone RU,

wherein the second multiple RUs are allocated within the first, second, third or fourth 80 MHz subchannel.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the control field includes allocation information on the second multiple RUs

wherein the 484-tone RU is an RU consisting of 484 tones,

wherein the 242-tone RU is an RU consisting of 242 tones.

6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein one of the first to fourth 80 MHz subchannels is a primary 80 MHz channel, and the remaining three subchannels except for the primary 80 MHz channel are secondary 80 MHz channels.

7 . The method of claim 4 , wherein based on the receiving STA including first and second STAs, and the second multiple RUs being allocated only within the first and third 80 MHz channels,

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the receiving STA including first and second STAs, and the first multiple RUs being allocated in the primary 160 MHz channel and the secondary 160 MHz channel,

the first STA receives the data field through the first multiple RUs allocated in the primary 160 MHz channel, and

the second STA receives the data field through the first multiple RUs allocated in the secondary 160 MHz channel.

9 . A receiving station (STA) in a wireless Local Area Network (LAN), the receiving STA comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

decode the PPDU,

wherein the PPDU includes a control field and a data field,

wherein the 320 MHz band including a primary 160 MHz channel and a secondary 160 MHz channel, wherein the data field is received through first multiple resource units (RUs) being a combination of a 996-tone RU and a 484-tone RU,

10 . A method in a wireless Local Area Network (LAN), the method comprising:

generating, by a transmitting station (STA), a Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU); and

transmitting, by the transmitting STA, the PPDU through a 320 MHz band to a receiving STA,

wherein the PPDU includes a control field and a data field,

wherein the 320 MHz band including includes a primary 160 MHz channel and a secondary 160 MHz channel,

wherein the data field is received through first multiple resource units (RUS) being a combination of a 996-tone RU and a 484-tone RU,

wherein the PPDU is transmitted based on an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) scheme, and

wherein the combination of the 996-tone RU and the 484-tone RU is allocated in the primary 160 MHz channel, and the combination of the 996-tone RU and the 484-tone RU is allocated in the secondary 160 MHz channel.

11 . The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the control field includes allocation information on the first multiple RUs,

wherein other RUs or multiple RUs other than the first multiple RUs in the 320 MHz band are punctured or allocated for a receiving STA other than the receiving STA,
