Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a sounding procedure including uplink multi-user transmission in a High Efficiency WLAN (HEW). According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method for transmitting a response frame by a responding Station (STA) to a transmitting STA in a wireless local area network may be provided. The method may include receiving, from the transmitting STA, a trigger frame including information related to a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) for the response frame, and transmitting, to the transmitting STA, the response frame according to an MCS determined based on the information related to the MCS for the response frame included in the trigger frame. When a type of the response frame corresponds to a Multiple-User (MU) type, a same MCS may be applied to the response frame by a plurality of STAs including the STA and at least one other STA.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of facilitating a sounding procedure in a wireless local area network, the method comprising:\n processing, by a responding station, a trigger frame received from a transmitting station, the trigger frame indicating a type of feedback requested; generating, by the responding station, a feedback report according to the type of feedback requested; and transmitting, by the responding station, to the transmitting station, a response frame including the feedback report, wherein, when the type of feedback requested corresponds to a multiple-user (MU) type, the feedback report is simultaneously transmitted with multiple feedback reports from a plurality of stations.
