Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for operating multi-type beacons by a first terminal connected with a second terminal through wireless communication. The first terminal receives, from the second terminal, information required for allocating a beacon type. The first terminal selects a beacon type for the second terminal from predetermined beacon types based on at least one variable in the information. The at least one variable includes at least one of a channel condition of a communication link between the first terminal and the second terminal, a traffic period of the communication link, and a security level of transmission and reception data. Each variable includes a priority. The first terminal allocates a beacon to the second terminal based on the priority of each variable. The beacon has the beacon type. The beacon allocated to the second terminal is transmitted from the first terminal to the second terminal.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to change a network adaptively for an electronic device. According to various embodiments, the electronic device may comprise performing data communication with at least one electronic device over a first communication network, detecting a change associated with a state of network based on at least one of a link connection state with the at least one electronic device and a feature of an application executed in the electronic device, and performing data communication with the at least one electronic device over a second communication network. The electronic device can configure the network according to a state of overall network and control/manage elements of the overall network.
Abstract:
A method for controlling access between home devices and servers in a home network system is provided. The method includes determining whether first access of the home devices to each of the servers and second access of the servers to each of the home devices is restricted, and controlling the first access and second access based on respective access rights established according to the determination.
Abstract:
A method and an electronic device for controlling a topology are provided. The method includes forming a star topology by directly connecting the electronic device to at least one node, and transmitting and receiving signals with neighboring nodes including the at least one node and determining whether to form the star topology or an extended star topology with the neighboring nodes based on a result of the transmitting and receiving, wherein the star topology is a topology in which the electronic device is directly connected to the neighboring nodes, and wherein the extended star topology is a topology in which the electronic device is directly connected to the neighboring nodes via an already connected node.
Abstract:
A method for remotely controlling a home device in a mobile terminal is provided. The method includes receiving a chat message input to the mobile terminal for controlling at least one home device through an instant messenger application installed in the mobile terminal, and sending the chat message to a messenger server. The sent chat message is converted into a control command, which is sent to the home device.

Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for determining a gateway using lower power are provided. The method includes setting probing transmission power for setting the gateway, transmitting a probing request message to another mobile station existing in a cluster with the set probing transmission power, when a probing response message is received from the other mobile station, generating a probing response list for the mobile station having transmitted the probing response message, determining whether a cluster list for mobile stations existing in the cluster corresponds to the probing response list, and determining a gateway mobile station according to a result of the determination as to whether the cluster list for mobile stations existing in the cluster corresponds to the probing response list.
