Wireless LAN sensing procedure

A non-AP station (STA) in a wireless local area network (Wireless Local Area Network) system, comprising:

• a transceiver adapted to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal;
• and
• a processor adapted to control the transceiver,
• wherein the processor is further adapted to:
• transmit a sensing request frame to an access point (AP), wherein the sensing request frame allows the non-AP STA to invoke a procedure to request the AP to perform a sensing procedure, wherein the sensing request frame is related to at least one sensing responder for which the AP is requested to include in the sensing procedure, wherein the sensing request frame includes address information related to the at least one sensing responder and role information of the at least one sensing responder, wherein the role information has a first value for a sensing receiver role and has a second value for a sensing transmitter role, wherein the first value for the sensing receiver role is set to one (1);
• receive a sensing response frame from the AP in response to the sensing request frame;
• and
• receive a sensing report frame from the AP, wherein the sensing report frame includes a sensing measurement report received by the AP.
