Reception apparatus and method for receiving a control signal in a wireless communication system

Abstract

A reception apparatus includes a receiver which, in operation, receives a signal that includes a legacy preamble, a non-legacy preamble and a data field, wherein the non-legacy preamble comprises a first non-legacy signal field and a second non-legacy signal field, and a processor which, in operation, decodes the signal. The first non-legacy signal field comprises a 3-bit signaling that is composed of a 1-bit first subfield and a 2-bit second subfield, and a certain value of the 3-bit signaling indicates presence of a Resource Unit (RU) allocation subfield in the second non-legacy signal field.
