## Abstract

The present specification suggests a method for transmitting and receiving a signal, by a station, in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system supporting a maximum of eight space time streams, and an apparatus therefor. More specifically, the present specification suggests a method for transmitting and receiving a signal including a pilot sequence for 2 channel bonding per each space time stream when a station transmits and receives a signal through a channel in which two channels are bonded, and an apparatus therefor.
