A method and apparatus for transmitting frames in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), each station in the WLAN determines whether there is another station in a hidden state. The station transmits a frame to an Access Point (AP) without performing an Request To Send/Clear To Send (RTS/CTS) mechanism when there is another station in a hidden state, thereby improving use efficiency of the wireless network and minimizing frame transmission delay.
