## Abstract

The present specification discloses a method for transmitting and receiving channel measurement information in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system and a device for the same. More specifically, the present specification describes a method for transmitting and receiving channel measurement information to support a time division duplex (TDD) scheduling scheme, which is a method for transmitting and receiving channel measurement information based on channel measurement per time unit different from that in a conventional method, and a device for the same.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for transmitting, by a station (STA), channel measurement information in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, the method comprising:
receiving, from an access point (AP), a measurement request signal to request channel measurement in a unit of time unit (TU)/1024; and
transmitting the channel measurement information to the AP,
wherein the channel measurement information is measured based on a First Measurement Duration field comprised in the measurement request signal, wherein the First Measurement Duration field comprises information on a requested measurement duration in the unit of the TU/1024.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement request signal comprises information on that the measurement request signal is a measurement request signal for the channel measurement per the TU/1024.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the information on that the measurement request signal is the measurement request signal for the channel measurement per the TU/1024 is received through the First Measurement Method field.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, upon receiving the First Measurement Method field associated with an average noise plus interference power indicator (ANIPI) measured during the requested measurement duration, the STA transmits the channel measurement information comprising the ANIPI to the AP.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein the First Measurement Method field associated with the ANIPI is set to 2.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the channel measurement information comprises: a Second Measurement Method field including information on that the channel measurement information is set to the ANIPI during the requested measurement duration; and a Second Measurement Duration field including information on the requested measurement duration in the unit of the TU/1024.

### Claim 7 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein upon receiving the First Measurement Method field associated with a received signal-to-noise indicator (RSNI) measured during the requested measurement duration, the STA transmits the channel measurement information comprising the RSNI to the AP.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein the First Measurement Method field associated with the RSNI is set to 3.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, wherein the channel measurement information comprises: a Second Measurement Method field including information on that the channel measurement information is set to the RSNI during the requested measurement duration; and a Second Measurement Duration field including information on the requested measurement duration in the unit of the TU/1024.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein a time interval in which the channel measurement is performed is comprised in a service period (SP) comprised in a data transfer interval (DTI).

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the TU/1024 is equal to 1 microsecond

### Claim 12

A method for receiving, by an access point (AP), channel measurement information from a station (STA) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, the method comprising:
transmitting a measurement request signal to request channel measurement in a unit of time unit (TU)/1024 to the STA; and
receiving channel measurement information from the STA,
wherein the channel measurement information is measured based on a First Measurement Duration field comprised in the measurement request signal, wherein the First Measurement Duration field comprises information on a requested measurement duration in the unit of the TU/1024.

### Claim 13

(canceled)

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, wherein the measurement request signal comprises a First Measurement Method field including information on an ANIPI or an RSNI as a measurement method during the requested measurement duration in the unit of the TU/1024, and the channel measurement information comprises a Second Measurement Method field including information on that the channel measurement information is set to the ANIPI or the RSNI as the measurement method during the requested measurement duration.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, further comprising:
performing, by the AP, time division duplex (TDD) slot scheduling for the STA based on the channel measurement information.

### Claim 16

A communication device for transmitting channel measurement information in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, the communication device comprising:
a memory; and
a processor connected to the memory to process a signal transmitted to and received from another station device,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a measurement request signal to request channel measurement in a unit of time unit (TU)/1024 from an access point (AP); and
transmit channel measurement information to the AP, and
the channel measurement information is measured based on a first measurement duration field comprised in the measurement request signal, wherein the first measurement duration field comprises information on a requested measurement duration in the unit of the TU/1024.

### Claim 17

(canceled)
