    Abstract: A Multi-User-Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) transmission method performed by an Access Point (AP) in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) system is provided. The method includes transmitting an MU-MIMO initiation message to a destination Station (STA) which is a target of a MU-MIMO transmission, the MU-MIMO initiation message informing that MU-MIMO transmission will be initiated, receiving a sounding frame transmitted by the destination STA as a response to the MU-MIMO initiation message and performing MU-MIMO transmission on data by beamforming based on channel information obtained from the sounding frame. The sounding frame includes precoded and virtualized channel information between the AP and the STA. A dimension of the virtualized channel information is lower than a dimension of channel information between the AP and the STA.

    Abstract: A method and a device for transmitting data in a wireless communication system are discussed. The method according to an embodiment includes transmitting a plurality of request to send (RTS) frames through a plurality of subchannels, each of the plurality of subchannels having a 20 megahertz (MHz) bandwidth; receiving at least one clear to send (CTS) frame through at least one idle subchannel; and transmitting a data frame. If the at least one CTS frame includes channel information related to the at least one idle subchannel through which the CTS frame is transmitted by the station, the data frame is transmitted through the at least one idle subchannel indicated by the channel information. A number of the at least one idle subchannel through which the CTS frame is transmitted is less than a number of the plurality of subchannels through which the plurality of RTS frames are transmitted.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for acquiring/providing available channel information using Generic Advertisement Service (GAS) protocol in a wireless local area network (WLAN) are disclosed. AP (Access Point) station has a capability to acquire information for available channels from a database using a specific protocol related to an operation within the White Space (e.g. Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP)). And, non-AP station can retrieve the information for available channels by transmitting a Generic Advertisement Service (GAS) initial request frame to the AP station, wherein the GAS initial request frame comprises an Advertisement Protocol Element whose element ID indicates the specific protocol, and receiving a GAS initial response frame comprising a White Space Map (WSM) the specific protocol. The WSM comprises one or more white space channel units, and each of the white space channel units comprises a channel number field indicating one of the available channels and a power constraint field indicating a maximum allowable power on the indicated channel.
