Abstract
Provided is a wireless communication terminal that communicates wirelessly. The wireless communication terminal includes a transceiver and a processor for processing a radio signal received through the transceiver or a radio signal to be transmitted through the transceiver. The processor accesses a channel according to according to a priority of data to be transmitted to the base communication terminal by the wireless communication terminal.
Claims10
A wireless communication terminal that wirelessly communicates with a base wireless communication terminal, the wireless communication terminal comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- transmit, to the base wireless communication terminal, a trigger-based physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) using the transceiver,
- switch a parameter set, which is a set of parameters used for the channel access, from a first parameter set to a second parameter set based on whether the base wireless communication terminal triggers a multi-user uplink transmission participation of the wireless communication terminal,
- when a MAC protocol data unit (MPDU) included in the trigger-based PPDU does not request an immediate response, set a second parameter set timer for an access category of the MPDU when the transmission of the trigger-based PPDU ends,
- when the MPDU included in the trigger-based PPDU requests the immediate response, set the second parameter set timer for the access category of the MPDU for which immediate response is received,
- when the second parameter set timer expires, terminate an application of the second parameter set, and
- access a channel according to a priority of data to be transmitted to the base communication terminal by the wireless communication terminal and the parameter set.
An operation method of a wireless communication terminal that wirelessly communicates with a base wireless communication terminal, the method comprising:
- transmitting a trigger-based physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) to the base wireless communication terminal;
- switching a parameter set, which is a set of parameters used for the channel access, from a first parameter set to a second parameter set based on whether the base wireless communication terminal triggers a multi-user uplink transmission participation of the wireless communication terminal;
- when a MAC protocol data unit (MPDU) included in the trigger-based PPDU does not request an immediate response, setting a second parameter set timer for an access category of the MPDU when the transmission of the trigger-based PPDU ends;
- when the MPDU included in the trigger-based PPDU requests the immediate response, setting the second parameter set timer for the access category of the MPDU for which immediate response is received;
- when the second parameter set timer expires, terminating an application of the second parameter set;
- accessing a channel according to a priority of data to be transmitted to the base wireless communication terminal and the parameter set;
- and
- transmitting the data through the channel.
