US 2018/0027608 A1 · FRAME TRANSMISSION METHOD PERFORMED IN ACCESS POINT, FRAME RECEPTION METHOD PERFORMED IN TERMINAL, AND ACCESS POINT

Abstract

Provided are a frame transmission method performed in an access point (AP), a frame reception method performed in a terminal, and an AP. The frame transmission method performed in an AP includes acquiring a channel for transmitting a first data unit of a first terminal, when a data unit to be transmitted to at least one terminal other than the first terminal is in the AP, generating a physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) including the first data unit and the data unit to be transmitted to the at least one terminal, and transmitting the PPDU to the first terminal and the at least one terminal. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the performance of a wireless local area network (WLAN).

Dependent claims

An operation method performed in an access point (AP), the operation method comprising:

generating a physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) including a plurality of data units;
and
transmitting the PPDU based on an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) manner,
wherein the plurality of data units includes a first data unit for a first station and a second data unit for a second station, the first data unit and the second data unit are multiplexed in a frequency domain, and a padding is appended to each of the first data unit and the second data unit so that a length of a first payload including the first data unit is configured to be identical with a length of a second payload including the second data unit.
