Provided is a method for determining network link quality between a master station and slave stations in a wireless network system having a synchronous superframe structure. The method for determining link quality in a wireless network system includes determining whether the current station is a master or a slave, when the current station is a master, comparing a time value during which the latest packets were received from slaves and a maximum time value during which the slaves are not obliged to exchange packets with the master after accessing a network, and determining link quality between the slaves and the master according to the comparison result.
