Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method of managing a network allocation vector (NAV) by a station (STA) in a wireless LAN system supporting a high efficiency physical layer protocol data unit (HE PPDU) includes: receiving a frame including duration information; selecting a predetermined NAV from a plurality of NAVs of the STA; and managing the predetermined NAV based on the duration information of the frame, wherein the predetermined NAV is selected based on whether the frame has been received from a basic service set (BSS) to which the STA belongs.
