1. A method for operating in a power save mode in a wireless local area network, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a station, a multi user-multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) scheduling information from an access point (AP), the MU-MIMO scheduling information including a group ID field and a wakeup scheduling field, the group ID field including a group ID indicating a group of stations, the wakeup scheduling field including a wakeup offset indicating a start time for data transmission after receiving the MU-MIMO scheduling information;
receiving, by the station, a beacon frame from the AP, the beacon frame including a traffic indication map (TIM) element indicating whether there is a buffered traffic to the station; and
if the TIM element indicates that there is the buffered traffic to the station and it is determined that the station belongs to the group of stations indicated by the group ID, transmitting, by the station, a trigger frame as a response to the buffered traffic to the AP based on the wakeup offset.

Abstract
A method of transmitting a data frame in a wireless local area network (WLAN) is provided. The method includes transmitting, by an access point (AP), a scheduling information element including information on a time period for data frame transmission to a first station (STA) and a second STA, wherein the scheduling information element includes an offset field indicating a start time point of the time period and transmitting, by the AP, the data frame to the first STA and the second STA by using a multi user-multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) transmission scheme after the start time point indicated by the offset field.

7. An apparatus configured for operating in a power save mode in a wireless local area network, the apparatus comprising:
-
a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to receive and transmit radio signals; and a processor operatively coupled with the RF unit and configured to; receive, via the RF unit, a multi user-multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) scheduling information from an access point (AP), the MU-MIMO scheduling information including a group ID field and a wakeup scheduling field, the group ID field including a group ID indicating a group of stations, the wakeup scheduling field including a wakeup offset indicating a start time for data transmission after receiving the MU-MIMO scheduling information; receive, via the RF unit, a beacon frame from the AP, the beacon frame including a traffic indication map (TIM) element indicating whether there is a buffered traffic to the apparatus; and if the TIM element indicates that there is the buffered traffic to the apparatus and it is determined that the apparatus belongs to the group of stations indicated by the group ID, transmit, via the RF unit, a trigger frame as a response to the buffered traffic to the AP based on the wakeup offset. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
