Abstract
Provided is a wireless communication terminal that communicates wirelessly. The wireless communication terminal includes: a transceiver; and a processor. The processor receives a first PLCP Protocol Data Unit (PPPU) through the transceiver, and transmits a second PPDU based on Basic Service Set (BSS) information indicated by the first PPDU.
Claims16
A wireless communication terminal that communicates wirelessly, the terminal comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive a first PLCP Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) including a trigger frame through the transceiver, wherein the trigger frame triggers an uplink multiuser PPDU transmission of one or more wireless communication terminals in a first Basic Service Set (BSS) which is overlapped with a second BSS including the wireless communication terminal,
- receive a physical layer header of a second PPDU which is transmitted in response to the trigger frame,
- when predetermined conditions including that a transmission power of a third PPDU is below than a value which is determined based on a received signal strength of the first PPDU are met, transmit the third PPDU while the second PPDU being transmitted, and
- when at least one of the predetermined conditions is not met, determine whether a channel through which the third PPDU to be transmitted is idle by using a static Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) threshold value and transmit the third PPDU according to whether the channel is idle while the second PPDU being transmitted,
- wherein the static CCA threshold value is used for determining whether a channel is idle when the wireless communication terminal is receiving a PPDU transmitted from the second BSS,
- wherein the physical layer header of the second PPDU comprises a spatial reuse field indicating a parameter, wherein the parameter is determined based on a magnitude of interference acceptable by a wireless communication terminal which transmits the first PPDU when receiving the second PPDU, and a transmission power of the first PPDU, and
- wherein the predetermined conditions include that the transmission power of the third PPDU is below than a value which is determined based on a received signal strength of the first PPDU and the parameter.
