    Abstract: The specification proposes a signal processing method for changing an operating mode for configuring a PPDU in a wireless LAN system. More specifically, a change in the operating mode may be carried out during a time interval known to both a transmitting station and a receiving station. The time interval during which the change in the operating mode is carried out may be explicitly signaled or implicitly notified. For example, in case a change to a new operating mode is requested during a transmission opportunity (TXOP), the change in the operating mode may be delayed until a subsequent TXOP, and the new operating mode may be applied during the subsequent TXOP.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device by which an access point (AP) transmits a block ACK (BA) signal for transmission data of a plurality of stations (STAs) in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system. To this end, an AP receives data from a plurality of STAs, and transmits a first multi-STA BA frame (M-BA frame) for the data received from the plurality of STAs, wherein the first M-BA frame includes a MAC header field, a BA control field, and a BA information field, a last N bit of the BA control field indicates at least one from among the number of pieces of BA information included in the first M-BA frame and information on a succeeding ACK frame, and N is set to 5 or more.

    Abstract: A method for UL MU transmission of an STA operating in a power save mode comprises the steps of: transmitting a TWT request element including first information related to a requested TBTT of a first beacon frame and second information related to a requested wake interval between subsequent beacon frames the STA intends to receive to an AP; receiving a TWT response element from the AP in response to the TWT request element; switching to a doze state from the awake state after receiving the TWT response element; switching to the awake state from the doze state based on the third information in order to receive the first beacon frame from the AP; receiving the first beacon frame including fifth information related to a trigger transmission time of a trigger frame soliciting the UL MU transmission from one or more STAs from the AP.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for a station (STA) to transmit a frame in a wireless local area network system includes setting a TXOP duration field and a UL flag and transmitting a high efficiency physical layer protocol data unit (HE PPDU) including the TXOP duration field and the UL flag. In this case, the STA sets the UL flag to a first value corresponding to uplink if the HE PPDU is addressed to an access point (AP). When the TXOP duration field is set to a special value other than a TXOP duration value for configuring a network allocation vector and the HE PPDU corresponds to a single user PPDU carrying an ready-to-send frame or a clear-to-send frame, the STA may set the UL flag to a second value corresponding to downlink, even if the HE PPDU is addressed to the AP.

    Abstract: The present document relates to a method for efficiently performing uplink multi-user transmission in a wireless LAN system and an apparatus therefor. To this end, an access point (AP) may transmit a downlink multi-user frame to a plurality of STAs, receive an uplink frame including an acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) signal for the downlink multi-user frame and an uplink scheduling request signal from at least two STAs among the STAs, transmit a downlink frame including uplink scheduling information to the at least two STAs on the basis of the uplink scheduling request signal, and receive an uplink multi-user frame including data from the at least two STAs in response thereto. Here, an SIG field of the downlink frame preferably comprises an indicator indicating that the downlink frame includes uplink multi-user scheduling information.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for transmitting an acknowledgement signal in response to downlink data by a station (STA) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system. To this end, the STA receives a downlink physical protocol data unit (PPDU) including a control information subfield for uplink scheduling information and downlink data from an access point (AP) and transmits, to the AP, an uplink PPDU including an acknowledgement signal in response to the downlink data according to the uplink scheduling information. In this case, the control information subfield may include length information of the uplink PPDU, resource unit (RU) allocation information for the uplink PPDU, modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information for the uplink PPDU, transmit power of the AP, and target receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) information of the AP.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a first station (STA) to transmit an acknowledgement (ACK) signal to a second STA in a wireless local area network (WLAN) are disclosed. For this end, the first STA receive a first type frame aggregated with a second type frame from the second STA, wherein the first type frame does not include a quality of service (QoS) control field while the second type frame includes the QoS control field. Then, the first STA transmits an ACK signal for the first type frame to the second STA based on an ACK policy of the QoS control field of the second type frame.
