The present invention relates to a method performed by a shared AP in a wireless LAN system, the method comprising the steps of: allocating a first channel to first and second stations (STAs), wherein the shared AP is associated with the first and second STAs; receiving, from a sharing AP, an allocation of a second channel for transmission of coordinated orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (C-OFDMA); and transmitting a channel switching signal that requests channel switching from the first channel to the second channel, wherein the channel switching signal is only transmitted to the first STA participating in the C-OFDMA, but not to the second STA not participating in the C-OFDMA.

Channel switching for C-OFDMA transmission in multi-AP system

The present disclosure relates to a method for a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) operation at a physical (PHY) layer level in a wireless local area network (LAN) system or an apparatus for performing same. The method is characterized in receiving, from a transmitting station (STA), a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) including a receiver identifier (ID) which is a physical (PHY) layer signal, performing an error check on the PPDU, based on the error check, transmitting an HARQ feedback frame which is a PHY layer signal, and receiving a retransmission PPDU.

HARQ operation at PHY layer level

According to various embodiments, a multi-link device operating in a plurality of links can transmit, via a first link, a request frame for changing the first link from among the plurality of links to a second link not included in the plurality of links. The multi-link device can receive a response frame via the first link on the basis of the request frame. The multi-link device can change the first link to the second link on the basis of the response frame.

Technique for performing multi-link communication in wireless communication system

A method performed at a sharing access point (AP) of a wireless local area network (LAN) system may comprise the steps of: transmitting, to a first station (STA), a first measurement notification frame requesting measurement of a received signal strength indicator (RSSI); transmitting, to the first STA, a first measurement request frame for requesting a first path loss value which is path loss information of an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) AP and the first STA and an acceptable receiver interference level (ARIL) value; receiving, from the first STA, a first measurement report frame including the first path loss and a first ARIL value of the first STA; and transmitting, to the first STA, first data.

Measurement for space reuse in multi-AP system

The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a non-access point (AP) station (STA) multi-link device (MLD) of a wireless LAN system, the method comprising the steps of: transmitting, through a first link, a negotiation frame including first maximum number of spatial stream (NSS) information to an AP MLD; and receiving a negotiation response frame from the AP MLD through the first link.

Transmission of capability information about link

In a Wireless Local Area Network system, a reception device can receive information about link deactivation, and deactivate a link. The proposed method includes receiving a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) including a first control field in a first link. In the method, the first control field may include information related to disablement of the first link and information on a time point at which the first link is disabled. The proposed method further includes disabling the first link based on the first control field.

Link deactivation in multi-link

A method performed by a sharing access point (AP) of a wireless local area network (LAN) system may comprise the steps of: transmitting, to a shared AP, a first station (STA) list and a first measurement notification frame which requests measurement of received signal strength indicators (RSSIs) of signals transmitted from first STAs included in the first STA list; transmitting, to each of the first STAs, a request frame which requests information related to transmission power of the signals transmitted by the first STAs; receiving a report frame including the information related to the transmission power from each of the first STAs; transmitting a multi-AP transmission trigger frame to the shared AP; and transmitting data to each of the first STAs.

Reuse of space in multi-ap system

According to various embodiments, a multi-link device (MLD) may transmit, to an access point (AP), a request frame for activating a power saving mechanism (PSM). The multi-link device may receive a response frame for activating the PSM. The multi-link device may activate the PSM in at least one of a first link or the second link on the basis of the response frame.

According to various embodiments, a multi-link device (MLD) including a first STA and a second STA can receive a DL PPDU through a first link. The multi-link device can set the state of the second STA to be a doze state during the duration of the DL PPDU. The multi-link device can transmit an ACK frame through the first link in response to the DL PPDU. The multilink device can set the state of the second STA to be an awake state during the duration of the ACK frame.

Technique for performing multilink communication in wireless communication system

According to various embodiments, a multi-link device (MLD) may transmit, to an AP, a request frame for changing a primary link. On the basis of the request frame, the MLD may receive a response frame from the AP. On the basis of the response frame, the MLD may determine whether to change the primary link.

Method for performing multi-link communication in wireless communication system

According to various embodiments, a multi-link device (MLD) operating in a plurality of links may transmit a first request frame for requesting information on the plurality of links. The multi-link device may receive a first response frame on the basis of the first request frame. The first response frame may include information on a ratio of stations (STAs) using a first link as an anchor link, and information on a ratio of STAs using a second link as an anchor link.

In a wireless local area network (LAN) system, a shared AP may determine PPDU transmission power to be transmitted to an STA on the basis of an ARIL of the STA, transmission power of a signal transmitted to the STA by a sharing AP, and an RSSI of a signal received from the sharing AP by the STA.

Transmission power in multi-AP transmission using space reuse

In a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, an STA performs CCA on resources allocated thereto via a trigger frame from an AP and can transmit a TB PPDU via an idle channel among the allocated resources on the basis of the result of the CCA, wherein the PHY of the TB PPDU may include information about the result of the CCA.

Trigger-based data transmission

An AP and a STA can perform a PHY-level HARQ operation in a wireless local area network system, and the AP can transmit resource allocation information about a PHY-level feedback frame to be transmitted by a plurality of STAs. The AP can receive a plurality of HARQ feedback frames from a plurality of STAs. The plurality of HARQ feedback frames are PHY layer signals. The resource allocation information can include information related to a tone set and a symbol from which transmission of the plurality of HARQ feedback frames are started.
