Hereinafter, although a method of determining the TPC STA time resource and the TPC STA's transmit power is disclosed in the procedure of configuring the TPC-based operation, only one of the TPC STA time resource and the TPC STA's transmit power may be determined through the procedure of configuring the TPC-based operation.
Referring to FIG. 6, the TPC STA may transmit a TPC configuration request frame (or TPC interval request frame) 600. The TPC configuration request frame 600 may include information regarding the TPC STA time resource requested by the TPC STA and information regarding the TPC STA's transmit power. The TPC STA may determine the TPC STA time resource and TPC STA's transmit power used for transmission of an uplink frame, and may transmit the TPC configuration request frame 600 including the information regarding the TPC STA time resource and the information regarding the TPC STA's transmit power.
The TPC configuration request frame 600 is an RTS frame. The information regarding the TPC STA time resource and/or the information regarding the TPC STA's transmit power may be transmitted by being included in the RTS frame.
