METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING UPLINK FRAME IN WIRELESS LAN
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting an uplink frame in wireless local network (WLAN), comprising:
- receiving, by a station (STA), a downlink physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) from an access point (AP) through a downlink oriented channel;
performing, by the STA, a first channel switching from the downlink oriented channel to a normal channel based on information on a transmission opportunity (TXOP) duration for transmitting the downlink PPDU, when indication information of a reception STA of the downlink PPDU does not indicate the STA and there is an uplink frame which is pending on the STA;
performing, by the STA, a channel access for transmitting the uplink frame through the normal channel on a time resource that corresponds to the TXOP duration; and
performing, by the STA, a second channel switching from the normal channel to the downlink oriented channel based on the information on the TXOP duration,wherein the downlink oriented channel is used for a transmission of the downlink PPDU based on non-contention by the AP and a transmission of a response frame in response to the downlink PPDU by the STA,wherein the downlink oriented channel is not used for a transmission of an independent uplink frame by the STA, andwherein the independent frame is an uplink frame which is not the response frame among uplink frames transmitted from the STA to the AP.

Abstract
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transmitting an uplink frame in a wireless LAN. The method for transmitting an uplink frame in a wireless LAN may comprise: a step in which an STA receives a downlink PPDU from an AP through a downlink dedicated channel; a step in which the STA performs a first channel switching from the downlink dedicated channel to a general channel on the basis of information about TXOP duration for transmitting the downlink PPDU if STA indication information included in the received downlink PPDU does not indicate the STA and a pending uplink frame is present in the STA; a step in which the STA performs a channel access for transmitting the uplink frame via the general channel on a time resource corresponding to the TXOP duration; and a step in which the STA performs a second channel switching from the general channel to the downlink dedicated channel on the basis of the information about TXOP duration.

6. A station (STA) for transmitting an uplink frame in wireless local network (WLAN), comprising:
-
a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit or receive a radio signal; and a processor operatively connected to the RF unit, wherein the processor is configured to perform; receiving a downlink physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) from an access point (AP) through a downlink oriented channel; performing a first channel switching from the downlink oriented channel to a normal channel based on information on a transmission opportunity (TXOP) duration for transmitting the downlink PPDU, when indication information of a reception STA of the downlink PPDU does not indicate the STA and there is an uplink frame which is pending on the STA; performing a channel access for transmitting the uplink frame through the normal channel on a time resource that corresponds to the TXOP duration; and performing a second channel switching from the normal channel to the downlink oriented channel based on the information on the TXOP duration, wherein the downlink oriented channel is used for a transmission of the downlink PPDU based on non-contention by the AP and a transmission of a response frame in response to the downlink PPDU by the STA, wherein the downlink oriented channel is not used for a transmission of an independent uplink frame by the STA, and wherein the independent frame is an uplink frame which is not the response frame among uplink frames transmitted from the STA to the AP. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
