Abstract

Proposed are a method and apparatus for configuring an A-PPDU in a wireless LAN system. Specifically, a reception STA receives an A-PPDU from a transmission STA and decodes the A-PPDU. The A-PPDU includes a first PPDU for a primary 160 MHz channel and a second PPDU for a secondary 160 MHz channel. The first PPDU includes a first indicator including information about a bandwidth of the first PPDU. The second PPDU includes a second indicator including information about a bandwidth of the second PPDU. The first PPDU is a PPDU that supports an HE wireless LAN system, and the second PPDU is a PPDU that supports an EHT wireless LAN system.
