1. A wireless communication terminal, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a frame for allocating resource for uplink (UL) multi-user (MU) transmission to one or more terminals,
wherein the frame includes an association identifier (AID) field and a frame check sequence (FCS) field,
wherein the AID field is set to a value related to a first padding field, when the first padding field is included in the frame,
wherein the first padding field is used to adjust a length of the frame, and
wherein the first padding field is related to a preparation of a response frame for the frame, and
transmit the response frame in response to the frame.
