COMMUNICATION METHOD OF A TERMINAL AND AN ACCESS POINT FOR MULTI-USER TRANSMISSION OPPORTUNITY (TXOP) POWER SAVING

摘要

Provided is a terminal and an access point in an active mode for multi-user transmission opportunity (TXOP) power saving that may decrease power consumption by changing an operation state of the terminal from an awake state to a sleep state if there is no stream of data to be transmitted during a TXOP duration.

主权项

1. A method of operating a terminal, comprising:
receiving a frame from an access point, wherein a legacy preamble, a very high throughput signal (VHT-SIG) field, a medium access control (MAC) frame, and a corresponding data field are combined into the frame, wherein the VHT-SIG field comprises information indicating whether the access point allows a terminal in an active mode to enter a doze state during a transmission opportunity (TXOP) duration, and wherein the MAC frame comprises MAC header comprising information indicating whether additional data is to be transmitted to the terminal.
