- FIG. 2 The lower part of FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the IBSS.
- the IBSS is a BSS operating in an ad-hoc mode. Since IBSS does not include an AP, there is no centralized management entity that performs a centralized management function. That is, in the IBSS, the STAs 250-1, 250-2, 250-3, 255-4, and 255-5 are managed in a distributed manner. In IBSS, all STAs (250-1, 250-2, 250-3, 255-4, 255-5) can be mobile STAs, and access to a distributed system is not allowed, so a self-contained network network) is formed.

- the network discovery operation may include a scanning operation of the STA. That is, in order for the STA to access the network, it must find a network in which it can participate. An STA must identify a compatible network before participating in a wireless network. The process of identifying a network existing in a specific area is called scanning. Scanning methods include active scanning and passive scanning.
- an STA performing scanning transmits a probe request frame to discover which APs exist around it while moving channels, and waits for a response.

- an STA that transmits a probe request frame on channel 1 and receives a probe response frame on channel 1 stores BSS-related information included in the received probe response frame and channel) to perform scanning (ie, probe request/response transmission/reception on channel 2) in the same way.
- the scanning operation may be performed in a passive scanning manner.
- An STA performing scanning based on passive scanning may wait for a beacon frame while moving channels.
- the beacon frame is one of the management frames in IEEE 802.11, and is periodically transmitted to inform the existence of a wireless network, and to allow a scanning STA to search for a wireless network and participate in the wireless network.
- the AP plays a role of periodically transmitting a beacon frame, and in the IBSS, the STAs in the IBSS rotate and transmit the beacon frame.
- the STA performing the scanning receives the beacon frame, it stores information on the BSS included in the beacon frame and records the beacon frame information in each channel while moving to another channel.
- the STA may store BSS-related information included in the received beacon frame, move to the next channel, and perform scanning on the next channel in the same manner.

- 20 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of an 80 MHz OFDMA tone plan.
- an 80 MHz OFDMA tone plan may be constructed by duplicating a 40 MHz OFDMA tone plan and shifting each +/- 20 MHz.
- 160 MHz, 240 MHz, and 320 MHz tone plans may be configured by copying 80 MHz tone plans.

- 80 MHz OFDMA is a 40 MHz duplicate, and 484 tone RUs in Table 8 are shifted by 256 tones to the right and left respectively.
- the location of the pilot subcarrier may be different. For example, in the case of 80 MHz configuration, 4 242 tones are included, and the 2nd and 3rd 242 tones are shifted by 5 tones toward DC. If the pilot subcarrier is also shifted by 5 tones like this, it is located in an odd tone, which can cause a problem. Therefore, the present invention proposes a method for changing the position of the pilot.
