- the portable terminal operated by the user among the STAs is a non-AP STA, and when referred to simply as an STA, it may also refer to a non-AP STA.
- a non-AP STA is a terminal, a wireless transmit / receive unit (WTRU), a user equipment (UE), a mobile station (MS), a mobile terminal, or a mobile subscriber. It may also be called another name such as a mobile subscriber unit.
- the AP is an entity that provides an associated station (STA) coupled to the AP to access a distribution system (DS) through a wireless medium.

- IBSS Independent BSS
- the BBS shown in FIG. 1 is an IBSS.
- the IBSS means a BSS that does not include an AP. Since the IBSS does not include an AP, access to the DS is not allowed, thereby forming a self-contained network.

- DCF distributed coordination function
- CSMA / CA carrier sense multiple access / collision avoidance
- FIG. 3 is a view for explaining a DCF mechanism in a WLAN system.
- the distributed coordination function performs a clear channel assessment (CCA) for sensing a medium for a specific period (eg, DIFS: DCF inter-frame space) before STAs having data to transmit transmit data.
- CCA clear channel assessment
- the STA can transmit a signal using the medium.
- the medium is busy (unavailable)
- data can be transmitted after additionally waiting for a random backoff period in DIFS.
- the random backoff period allows collisions to be avoided.
- each STA has a probability of different backoff intervals, resulting in different transmissions. Because you have time. When one STA starts transmission, the other STAs cannot use the medium.
- the random backoff count is a pseudo-random integer value and selects one of the uniformly distributed values in the range [0 CW]. CW stands for 'contention window'.
- the CW parameter takes the CWmin value as the initial value, but if the transmission fails, the value is doubled. For example, if an ACK response for a transmitted data frame is not received, a collision can be considered. If the CW value has a CWmax value, the CWmax value is maintained until the data transmission is successful, and the data transfer succeeds and resets to the CWmin value. At this time, CW, CWmin, CWmax is preferable to maintain 2 n -1 for convenience of implementation and operation.
- the STA selects a random backoff count within the range of [0 CW] and continuously monitors the medium while the backoff slot is counted down. In the meantime, if the medium is busy, it stops counting down and resumes counting down the remaining backoff slots when the medium becomes idle again.
- STA3 when there are data that several STAs want to send, STA3 immediately transmits a data frame because the medium is idle as much as DIFS, and the remaining STAs wait for the medium to be idle. Since the medium has been busy for some time, several STAs will see an opportunity to use the medium. Therefore, each STA selects a random backoff count. In FIG. 3, STA 2, which has selected the smallest backoff count, transmits a data frame.
- FIG. 3 illustrates that STA 5, which has the next smallest random backoff count value after STA 2 and stops counting down when the medium is busy, starts data frame transmission after counting down the remaining backoff slots. Overlap with the backoff count value shows that a collision has occurred. At this time, since both STAs do not receive an ACK response after the data transmission, the CW is doubled and the random backoff count value is selected again.
- the terminal may use physical carrier sensing and virtual carrier sensing to determine whether the DCF medium is busy / idle.
- Physical carrier sensing is performed at the physical layer (PHY) stage and is performed through energy detection or preamble detection. For example, if it is determined that the voltage level at the receiver or the preamble is read, it can be determined that the medium is busy.
- Virtual carrier sensing is performed by setting a network allocation vector (NAV) to prevent other STAs from transmitting data through a value of a duration field of a MAC header.
- NAV network allocation vector
- FIG. 4 is a diagram for describing in detail a method of operating using the RTS / CTS frame as described above.
- a transmitting STA may transmit an RTS frame to a receiving STA to transmit a signal after DIFF (Distributed IFS).
- the receiving STA receiving the RTS frame may transmit the CTS to the transmitting STA after SIFS (Short IFS).
- SIFS Short IFS
- the transmitting STA that receives the CTS from the receiving STA may transmit data as shown in FIG. 4 after SIFS.
- the receiving STA receiving the data may transmit an ACK response to the data received after SIFS.
- the STAs receiving the RTS / CTS of the transmitting STA among the neighboring STAs other than the above-mentioned transmitting and receiving STAs determine whether the medium is busy by receiving the RTS / CTS and set a network allocation vector (NAV) accordingly. Can be.

- 5 is a diagram for describing a concept of a primary channel and an auxiliary channel.
- a primary channel and a secondary channel concept are introduced as shown in FIG. 5 to provide a wideband channel.
- a primary channel is referred to as a channel for transmitting a frame with its own bandwidth
- an auxiliary channel is referred to as a channel for extending the channel bandwidth along with the primary channel.
- channel 60 which is a main channel of 20 MHz, may be used to transmit a frame in a 20 MHz band. If a 40 MHz frame is transmitted on a 40 MHz main channel, both channels 60 and 64 of FIG. 5 should be idle.

- This problem may reduce the efficiency of resource utilization, and in particular, may reduce resource efficiency in a high density WLAN environment in which APs using various bandwidths and channels are overlapped.

- the backoff procedure is stopped.
- the STA may continue CCA until an idle channel is found.
- the backoff procedure may be started or the interrupted backoff procedure may be resumed.
- FIG. 8 illustrates a case in which the backoff procedure is started with the backoff timer value set to 6 after AIFS when the channels 1 to 4 become idle from the busy state, and proceeds when the channels 1 to 4 become busy. It shows that the ongoing backoff procedure is stopped. This suspended backoff procedure can be restarted if the channels become idle again.
- the STA may transmit a frame through idle channels during PIFS before the backoff counter value reaches 0.
- the frame is transmitted to STA 1 through the auxiliary channel even when there is a PPDU of another BSS in the primary channel.

- FIG. 11 is a diagram for describing processing of a channel that was busy during a backoff procedure according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- a CCA is performed in each channel to perform a backoff procedure, but a channel that has been detected as busy even when the backoff procedure is in progress due to a PPDU of another BSS is performed. Even if the backoff counter value reaches zero, it is proposed to set the frame not to be transmitted through the corresponding channel. This is because a channel that was busy during the backoff procedure has a high risk of collision because it does not go through an ongoing backoff procedure.
- FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining a method of setting an alternate primary channel according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- the primary channel / auxiliary channel structure can be maintained in the same manner as in a legacy system (for example, 802.11n / ac).

- the NAV and backoff procedure has been adjusted only for the primary channel as described above.
- Legacy systems also perform CCA on the secondary channel, but if the medium is idle during PIFS when the backoff counter value reaches zero, the corresponding secondary channel is considered available and can be used for transmission.
- the STA does not set the NAV for the auxiliary channel. That is, the physical layer does not issue the PHY-RXSTART.indication primitive in response to the PPDU not overlapping with the 20 MHz main channel.

- the STA according to the present embodiment may be configured not to transmit a frame through a channel having a non-zero value of NAV even if the channel is idle during PIFS when the backoff counter value reaches zero.
- AP 1 does not transmit data to CH3 and CH4 through NAV set according to CTS reception of STA2 even for CH3 and CH4, which are auxiliary channels, and thus can prevent a problem as illustrated in FIG. 14.
