US 2015/0085804 A1 · METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING, TRANSMITTING, AND RECEIVING A DATA FRAME IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Abstract

The present invention relates to a technique relating to a method and apparatus for generating, transmitting, and receiving a data frame having a newly proposed format in a wireless communication system. According to the technique, the method for generating a data frame in a wireless communication system comprises the following steps: generating at least one first subframe; generating at least one second subframe; and generating a data frame including the first and second subframes, wherein the first and second subframes include length information of a MAC protocol data unit (MPDU) contained in the first and second subframes, and the length information of the MPDU contained in the second subframe is zero.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method for communicating over a wireless local area network, the method comprising:

adding, by a transmitter, zero or more first padding unit to an initial data block to generate a first padded block if a length of the initial data block is less than a target length;
adding, by the transmitter, one or more second padding unit to the first padded block to generate a second padded block if the length of the first padded block is less than the target length;
and
transmitting, by the transmitter, the second padded block if the length of the second padded block is equal to the target length,
wherein the first and second padding units have different lengths from each other.
