Claim 0:
1. A method performed by a station (STA) configured to operate in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, the method comprising:
receiving a high efficiency (HE) physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) comprising: (i) a HE signal A (HE-SIG A) field and (ii) a medium access control (MAC) header;
obtaining a first duration field included in the HE-SIG A field, wherein the first duration field comprises at least one most significant bit (MSB) and at least one least significant bit (LSB); and
obtaining a transmission opportunity (TXOP) duration value based on (i) a first value obtained based on the at least one MSB and (ii) a second value obtained based on the at least one LSB,
wherein the first value multiplied by the second value relates to the TXOP duration value, and
wherein a bit length of the first duration field is smaller than a bit length of a second duration field included in the MAC header.
