Claim 13:
14. A method for receiving data by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) from an access point (AP); and
decoding the received PPDU,
wherein the PPDU is a PPDU transmitted to a plurality of terminals by a multi-user (MU) transmission operation by the AP,
wherein the U-SIG field comprises a bandwidth field indicating the total bandwidth in which the PPDU is transmitted and a mode field related to a puncturing pattern of a resource unit (RU) according to the total bandwidth,
wherein the total bandwidth comprises one or more segments,
wherein the puncturing pattern is identified by a combination of the total bandwidth indicated by the bandwidth field and a value of the mode field, and
wherein a puncturing granularity of the puncturing pattern is determined according to the total bandwidth indicated by the bandwidth field.
