Abstract
Provided is a method and apparatus for transmitting a packet in a wireless communication system. A method for transmitting a packet by a packet transmission apparatus in a wireless communication system includes determining whether the packet is a response packet, and transmitting the packet with a higher channel access opportunity than another packet transmission apparatus of the wireless communication system, if the packet is a response packet. Accordingly, it is possible to solve the problem that the total system performance degrades because a packet transmission apparatus fails to fully use its own transmission time by failing to rapidly receive a response packet even when packets remain to be transmitted in a wireless communication system using a contention-based channel access scheme.
