Method and device for allocating resource units using leftover tones in wireless LAN
First Claim
1. A method for allocating resource units in a wireless local area network (WLAN), the method comprising:
- generating, by an access point (AP), a physical (PHY) layer protocol data unit (PPDU) for a plurality of stations (STAs); and
transmitting, by the AP, the PPDU to the plurality of STAs based on a plurality of resource unit groups for an entire frequency bandwidth,wherein each of the plurality of resource unit groups is allocated to each of the plurality of STAs,wherein each of the plurality of resource unit groups corresponds to at least one 26-tone resource unit or a tone design resource unit that includes at least one other 26-tone resource unit and at least one additional tone unit, andwherein the at least one additional tone unit corresponds to leftover tones remaining after a plurality of frequency tones corresponding to the plurality of resource unit groups are divided in a 26-tone resource unit.

Abstract
Disclosed are a method and a device for allocating resource units using leftover tones in a wireless LAN. The method for allocating resource units using leftover tones in a wireless LAN may comprise the steps of: an AP generating PPDUs to be transmitted to a plurality of STAs; and the AP transmitting the PPDUs to the plurality of STAs on all frequency bands, wherein the PPDUs are transmitted from each of a plurality of resource unit sets respectively allocated to each of the plurality of STAs, wherein each of the plurality of resource unit sets includes a first resource unit set and a second resource unit set, wherein the first resource unit set includes at least one resource unit, the second resource unit set includes one tone design resource unit, and wherein the tone design resource unit may include at least one other resource unit and at least one additional tone unit.

6. An access point (AP) allocating resource units in a wireless local area network (WLAN), the AP comprising:
-
a radio frequency (RF) unit transmitting and receiving radio signals; and a processor being operatively connected to the RF unit, wherein the processor is configured; to generate a physical (PHY) layer protocol data unit (PPDU) for a plurality of stations (STAs), and to transmit the PPDU to the plurality of STAs based on a plurality of resource unit groups for an entire frequency bandwidth, wherein each of the plurality of resource unit groups is allocated to each of the plurality of STAs, wherein each of the plurality of resource unit groups corresponds to at least one 26-tone resource unit or a tone design resource unit that includes at least one other 26-tone resource unit and at least one additional tone unit, and wherein the at least one additional tone unit corresponds to leftover tones remaining after a plurality of frequency tones corresponding to the plurality of resource unit groups are divided in a 26-tone resource unit. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
