CPC H04W 80/08 (2013.01) [H04W 72/0446 (2013.01); H04W 72/1268 (2013.01); H04W 74/0866 (2013.01); H04W 76/11 (2018.02)] | 4 Claims |
1. A wireless communication terminal wirelessly communicating with a base wireless communication terminal, the wireless communication terminal comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless signals; and
a processor configured to process the wireless signals,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) including a trigger frame for triggering transmission to the base wireless communication terminal, wherein the trigger frame includes an identifier which identifies a wireless communication terminal which is triggered by the trigger frame, and the trigger frame indicates a resource unit (RU) which is allocated to the wireless communication terminal,
when a format of the PPDU including the trigger frame is a PPDU format in which at least one of physical layer signaling fields including a field for indicating a Basic Service Set (BSS) color is included, set a value of a BSS color to be indicated by a trigger-based PPDU based on the BSS color indicated by the field,
when the format of the PPDU including the trigger frame is a PPDU format in which any physical layer signaling field including the field for indicating the BSS color is not included, set the value of the BSS color to be indicated by the trigger-based PPDU according to an active BSS color of the wireless communication terminal, and
transmit the trigger-based PPDU based on the trigger frame,
wherein the active BSS color is a BSS color actually used by the wireless communication terminal and set by an Operation element,
wherein when the wireless communication terminal receives information on a BSS color change from the base wireless communication terminal and a BSS color change time point indicated by the information on the BSS color change is reached, the active BSS color is set to a value of a BSS color indicated by the information on the BSS color change, and
wherein the BSS color is one of identifiers identifying a BSS.
