Claim 0:
1. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
a communication module; and
a processor configured to control the communication module,
wherein the processor configured to:
receive a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) from an access point (AP), and
decode the received PPDU,
wherein the PPDU comprises a universal signal (U-SIG) field and an extremely high throughput (EHT)-SIG field comprising at least one content channel,
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 a 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.
