Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are a method and device for reporting a buffer state for latency-sensitive traffic in a wireless LAN system. A method for a station (STA) to transmit a buffer state report (BSR) in a wireless LAN system according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: transmitting, to an access point (AP), a frame including a first BSR control subfield including first queue size information about first-type traffic and second-type traffic; and transmitting, to the AP, a frame including a second BSR control subfield including second queue size information about the second-type traffic, wherein the second-type traffic may correspond to latency-sensitive traffic, and the first-type traffic may correspond to traffic other than the second-type traffic.
