Abstract:
The present specification discloses a method by which a station transmits/receives a signal in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system, and a device therefor. More particularly, disclosed are: a method for performing beamforming training for a plurality of channels and transmitting/receiving a signal on the basis of the beamforming training, when the station transmits/receives the signal through the plurality of channels; and a device therefor.

Claim (Index 11):
A station device for transmitting a signal through multiple channels in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system, comprising:\n a transmitting/receiving unit having one or more radio frequency (RF) chains and being configured to transmit/receive a signal to/from another station device; and a processor being operatively connected to the transmitting/receiving unit and performing signal processing of the signal transmitted/received to/from the other station device, wherein the processor is configured: to perform beamforming training on the multiple channels for the other station device by transmitting a Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) through the multiple channels to the other STA, wherein the PPDU is differently configured based on whether the PPDU is transmitted based on a channel bonding or a channel aggregation, and to transmit the signal through the multiple channels to the other station device based on the beamforming training procedure, wherein in case the PPDU is transmitted based on the channel aggregation, the PPDU includes a Legacy Shot Training Field (L-STF) field, a Legacy Channel Estimation (L-CE) field, a Legacy Header (L-Header) field, an Enhanced Directional Multi Gigabit Header A (EDMG Header A) field, and a Beam Refinement Protocol (BRP) field, which are duplicated for aggregated channels included in the multiple channels, and the PPDU further includes a Training (TRN) field having a gap configured between the aggregated channels, and wherein in case the PPDU is transmitted based on the channel bonding, the PPDU includes a L-STF field, a L-CE field, a L-Header field, an EDMG Header A field, and a BRP field, which are duplicated for bonded channels included in the multiple channels, and the PPDU further includes a TRN field being transmitted through an entire bandwidth of the bonded channels.
