- an STA determines whether the STA itself is the target STA of SDMA transmission by using the information which indicates the target STA of SDMA transmission and which is included in the TRQ frame 102. If it is not the target STA, the STA may set a network allocation vector (NAV) on the basis of information indicating the transmission duration so as to defer channel access during the transmission duration.
- NAV network allocation vector
- the STA transmits to the AP a sounding PPDU used for channel estimation with respect to a specific STA.
- the STA_1 110, the STA_2 120, and the STA_3 130 are target STAs, and transmit to the AP 100 a sounding PPDU 112, a sounding PPDU 122, and a sounding PPDU 132, respectively.
- the AP 100 Upon receiving the sounding PPDU 112, the sounding PPDU 122, and the sounding PPDU 132, the AP 100 performs channel estimation by using the received sounding PPDUs.

- OFDM orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
- IFFT inverse fast Fourier transform
- FFT fast Fourier transform
- GI guard interval
- the IFFT/FFT period and the GI will be collectively referred to hereinafter as an OFDM symbol duration. That is, the OFDM symbol duration is 4.0 ⁇ s in the IEEE 802.11n standard.
- FIG. 4 shows an example of a slotted RIFS proposed in the present invention.
- multiple frame transmission has a problem in that synchronization is not maintained between frames transmitted to respective STAs.
- This problem occurs when an inter-frame space (IFS) is used as an RIFS in the multiple frame transmission.
- IFS inter-frame space
- the RIFS is 2 ⁇ s, which is not a multiple of an OFDM symbol duration.
- the present invention proposes to set the IFS to a multiple of the OFDM symbol duration.
- the IFS in the multiple frame transmission may be 0 ⁇ s, 4 ⁇ s, 8 ⁇ s, ... , etc., which is a multiple of the OFDM symbol duration (i.e., 4 ⁇ s), rather than the RFIS (i.e., 2 ⁇ s) based on the IEEE 802.11n standard.
- a new IFS set to a multiple of the OFDM symbol duration (i.e., 4 ⁇ s) proposed in the present invention will be hereinafter referred to as a slotted RIFS.
- the term ‘slotted RIFS’ is arbitrarily named.
- a slotted RIFS 400 is set to 4 ⁇ s in FIG. 4 which shows multiple frame transmission according to an embodiment of the present invention. Unlike in the example of FIG. 3, the slotted RIFS 400 of 4 ⁇ s is used as an IFS between SDMA data 220 and SDMA data 221, and as a result, synchronization can be maintained between the SDMA data 210 and the SDMA data 221.
- the slotted RIFS proposed in the present invention can be used for multiple frame transmission in MU-MIMO.
- an RIFS may also be used in addition to the slotted RIFS.
- An AP may report to STAs whether the slotted RIFS is available.
- a VHT operation information element including a slotted RIFS bit for reporting whether the slotted RIFS is available may be transmitted to the STAs.
- the VHT operation information element may be transmitted to the STA by being included in a probe response frame, a beacon frame, or the like based on the IEEE 802.11 standard.
- the STA Upon receiving the probe response frame or the beacon frame, the STA can know whether the slotted RIFS is available according to the slotted RIFS bit of the VHT operation information element.
- the slotted RIFS bit is set to 0, the slotted RIFS is not available, and in this case, an IFS may be set to an SIFS in multiple frame transmission.
- the SIFS is 16 ⁇ s, which is a multiple of an OFDM symbol duration (i.e., 4 ⁇ s).
- the slotted RIFS bit is set to 1
- the slotted RIFS is used as the IFS in the multiple frame transmission, and thus the multiple frame transmission occurs with an interval of the slotted RIFS.
- a short GI is optionally used to decrease an overhead.
- the short GI is 4 ⁇ s, and may be used in a data field according to setting of a field for indicating whether the short GI is available in a signal (SIG) field of a PLCP header. Since the short GI is used in the data field, when using the short GI, an OFDM symbol duration used in the PLCP header may differ from an OFDM symbol duration used in the data field. In other words, the OFDM symbol duration used in the PLCP header is 4 ⁇ s, whereas the OFDM symbol duration used in the data field is 3.6 ⁇ s.
- the short GI in order to maintain synchronization in multiple frame transmission, the short GI has to be used in frames transmitted to all STAs.
- the short GI when the short GI is used in a frame transmitted to the STA_1 in the example of FIG. 1, the short GI also has to be used in frames transmitted to the STA_2 and the STA_3.
- the same GI has to be used in all spatial streams in SDMA transmission.
- multiple frame transmission is configured such that each frame has the same transmission start time. Therefore, when using the short GI, the use of the slotted RIFS proposed in the present invention as the IFS is not a solution for the problem of not being able to maintain synchronization in multiple frame transmission.
- FIG. 5 shows an example of a synchronized multiple frame transmission method proposed in the present invention.
- transmission is achieved by synchronizing a transmission start time of each frame in multiple frame transmission.
- an AP transmits data frames 510 and 515 for multiple frame transmission to an STA_1 and transmits data frames 520 and 525 for multiple frame transmission to an STA_2, if transmission of the data frame 520 ends first, the next frame 525 is not transmitted after an RIFS or an SIFS elapses.
- the AP waits until the transmission of the data frame 510 ends, and starts to transmit the data frame 525 at the start of transmission of the data frame 515 to be transmitted after the data frame 510.
- a transmission start time of the data frame 515 and a transmission start time of the data frame 525 are aligned to a t_n+1 570.
- transmission start times of respective frames are aligned to a t_n 560 and a t_n+1 570 as shown in FIG. 5.
- Transmission start times of frames to be transmitted to the STA_1, the STA_2, and the STA_3 are aligned to each other, and even if transmission for any one of the STAs ends first, a next frame is aligned again to the transmission start time after transmission of the remaining STAs ends. Accordingly, synchronization can be maintained between frames to be transmitted to respective STAs even if the short GI is used.
- null data padding can be used.
- a pad 521 is padded to the data frame 520
- a pad 531 is padded to the data frame 530.
- the pad 521 and the pad 531 may be a zero bit stream including no data.

Except when it is the last A-MPDU subframe in an A-MPDU, the pad field 630 is appended to make each A-MPDU subframe a multiple of 4 octets in length.
- the MPDU delimiter 610 may be 4 octets in length. Table 1 shows an exemplary structure of the MPDU delimiter 610.
- MPDU delimiter Field (610) Size(bits) Description Reserved(611) 3 Null(612) 1 Indicating that follow-up MPDU is null data.

- Delimiter Signature (615) 8 Pattern that may be used to detect an MPDU delimiter when scanning for a delimiter. The unique pattern may be set to the value 0x4E.
- a null field 612 may have 1 bit in length, and when this bit is set to 1, it may indicate that a follow-up MPDU is null data.
- the AP aggregates MPDUs to be transmitted to a specific STA. If there is no more MPDUs to be aggregated or if an A-MPDU size is no longer able to be increased due to a limited A-MPDU size of a receiving STA, null padding is used to align a transmission start time. The AP sets the null bit of the A-MPDU subframe to 1, and transmits null data for follow-up MPDUs.
- the STA receives the A-MPDU, and evaluates a null bit of each A-MPDU subframe of the A-MPDU.
- the null bit is set to 1, it can be know that the follow-up A-MPDU subframe is null data, and thus the STA can immediately discard the follow-up A-MPDU subframe without storing it in a buffer.
