## Abstract

A method and a device for performing an SST operation in a wireless LAN system are disclosed. A method by which a first station (STA) performs an SST operation in a wireless LAN system comprises the steps of: receiving, from a second STA, a target wake time (TWT) element including a control field and an individual TWT parameter set field; and performing the SST operation on the basis of the TWT element, wherein the control field includes a first field for indicating a format of the individual TWT parameter set field supporting a bandwidth of 320 MHZ or more, and the TWT element can include a second field related to a channel width resolution for the SST operation.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of performing subchannel selective transmission (SST) operation by a first station (STA) in a wireless LAN system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a second STA, a target wake time (TWT) element including a control field and an individual TWT parameter set field; and
performing the SST operation based on the TWT element,
wherein the control field includes a first field indicating a format of the individual TWT parameter set field supporting a bandwidth of 320 MHz or more, and
wherein the TWT element includes a second field related to a channel width resolution for the SST operation.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein:
the first field is set to at least one of a seventh bit (B6) or a eighth bit (B7) of the control field.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein:
the second field is set to at least one of a seventh bit (B6) or an eight bit (B7) of the control field, or is included in the individual TWT parameter set field.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein:
the channel width resolution is indicated by the second field as at least one of 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz, or 160 MHz.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein:
the individual TWT channel parameter set field includes a TWT channel field, and
the TWT channel field includes a 16-bit or 32-bit bitmap indicating a channel for the SST operation.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein:
based on a specific channel being punctured in an overall bandwidth, the TWT channel field includes a bitmap indicating a channel for the SST operation in a bandwidth excluding the specific channel from the overall bandwidth.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein:
based on a first bandwidth being indicated by a size of the channel width resolution by the second field and a second bandwidth being punctured within the first bandwidth, the SST operation is performed in a remaining bandwidth excluding the second bandwidth among the first bandwidth.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein:
based on a size of the channel width resolution being indicated by the second field as a first bandwidth and a second bandwidth being punctured within the first bandwidth, the SST operation is not performed in the first bandwidth.

### Claim 9 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein:
a specific channel being punctured from an overall bandwidth is indicated by a disabled subchannel bitmap or a bitmap related to a disabling of a subchannel.

### Claim 10

A first station (STA) performing a subchannel selective transmission (SST) operation in a wireless LAN system, the first STA comprising:
at least one transceiver; and
at least one processor connected to the at least one transceiver,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive, from a second STA through the at least one transceiver, a target wake time (TWT) element including a control field and an individual TWT parameter set field; and
perform the SST operation based on the TWT element,
wherein the control field includes a first field indicating a format of the individual TWT parameter set field supporting a bandwidth of 320 MHz or more, and
wherein the TWT element includes a second field related to a channel width resolution for the SST operation.

### Claim 11

(canceled)

### Claim 12

A second station (STA) performing subchannel selective transmission (SST) operation in a wireless LAN system, the second STA comprising:
at least one transceiver; and
at least one processor connected to the at least one transceiver,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
transmit, to a first STA through the at least one transceiver, a target wake time (TWT) element including a control field and an individual TWT parameter set field; and
perform the SST operation based on the TWT element,
wherein the control field includes a first field indicating a format of the individual TWT parameter set field supporting a bandwidth of 320 MHz or more, and
wherein the TWT element includes a second field related to a channel width resolution for the SST operation.
