A method for communicating in a wireless local area network. The method according to one embodiment includes transmitting, by a first station, a plurality of a request to send (RTS) frames to a second station through a plurality of subchannels; receiving, by the first station, at least one clear to send (CTS) frame; and transmitting, by the first station, a data frame to the second station. If the at least one CTS frame includes channel information indicating all of the at least one idle subchannel through which the at least one CTS frame is transmitted, the data frame is transmitted via the at least one idle subchannel indicated by the channel information, and if the at least one CTS frame does not include the channel information, the data frame is transmitted via at least one of the plurality of subchannels indicated by the plurality of RTS frames. |

1. A method for communicating in a wireless local area network, the method comprising:
transmitting, by a first station, a plurality of a request to send (RTS) frames to a second station through a plurality of subchannels, each of the plurality of RTS frames being transmitted through each of the plurality of subchannels; receiving, by the first station, at least one clear to send (CTS) frame as a response to the plurality of RTS frames from the second station through at least one idle subchannel among the plurality of subchannels, the at least one CTS frame being received through the at least one idle subchannel; and transmitting, by the first station, a data frame to the second station, wherein a number of the at least one idle subchannel is equal to or less than a number of the plurality of subchannels, and wherein:
if the at least one CTS frame includes channel information indicating all of the at least one idle subchannel through which the at least one CTS frame is transmitted, the data frame is transmitted via the at least one idle subchannel indicated by the channel information, andif the at least one CTS frame does not include the channel information, the data frame is transmitted via at least one of the plurality of subchannels indicated by the plurality of RTS frames. |
