1. A method in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) system, the method comprising:
receiving, by a receiving station (STA), a Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) through a broadband from a transmitting STA; and
decoding, by the receiving STA, the PPDU,
wherein the PPDU includes a first signal field and a data field,
wherein when the broadband is a 160 MHz band, the 160 MHz band includes first and second 80 MHz segments,
wherein the first 80 MHz segment includes first to fourth 20 MHz channels,
wherein the second 80 MHz segment includes fifth to eighth 20 MHz channels,
wherein the first signal field includes first and second signal content channels (CCs) for the first 80 MHz segment, and includes third and fourth signal CCs for the second 80 MHz segment,
wherein the first signal CC includes a first resource allocation (RA) subfield for the first 20 MHz channel and a second RA subfield for the third 20 MHz channel,
wherein the second signal CC includes a third RA subfield for the second 20 MHz channel and a fourth RA subfield for the fourth 20 MHz channel,
wherein the third signal CC includes a fifth RA subfield for the fifth 20 MHz channel and a sixth RA subfield for the seventh 20 MHz channel, and
wherein the fourth signal CC includes a seventh RA subfield for the sixth 20 MHz channel and an eighth RA subfield for the eighth 20 MHz channel.
