Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses of transmitting a beacon using fragmentation are disclosed. One of the methods includes configuring a beacon in a manner that a schedule block selected for a specific wireless device (deice) only is included in an information element by a coordinator and transmitting the configured beacon to the specific wireless station directionally. Accordingly, an overhead of a beacon can be reduced in a manner of transmitting information specified to a station using a directional beacon or transmitting the beacon by dividing information contained in the beacon into several fragments.
Abstract:
Relating to a home network system and a home entertainment system, a method and an apparatus for transmitting packets in a home network system and a home entertainment system are disclosed. Additionally, a method for identifying devices to which the packets are to be transmitted and an apparatus for supporting the same are also disclosed herein. According to an embodiment, a method for transmitting a packet in a high definition base transmission (hereinafter referred to as HDBaseT) system includes the steps of receiving data from a source device in a transmission adaptor, converting the received data from the transmission adaptor to a downstream packet, in order to transmit the converted downstream packet to a receiving adaptor through an HDBaseT network, and transmitting the converted downstream packet to the receiving adaptor. At this point, the downstream packet may include a hierarchical identifier for identifying HDBaseT entities to which the downstream packet is to be transmitted.
Abstract:
Methods of controlling connection establishment to transmit or receive AA/data in a wireless network are disclosed. A method of controlling connection establishment to transmit or receive AA/data in a first device of a wireless network, which includes a coordinator and at least one device, comprises transmitting connection request information required to request connection establishment with a second device and a connection request message which includes capability information of the first device to the second device, and receiving a connection response message from the second device in response to the connection request message. As well as message formats to said methods are disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a handover method that a current coordinator transfers a coordinating function of controlling a network to a different device configuring the network. The present invention relates to a method of selecting an optimal device as a coordinator in selecting the different device using priority information decided by a prescribed evaluation reference. And, the present invention relates to a method of simplifying a procedure in a manner of transmitting relevant information together with a handover request message. In a wireless network including a coordinator, a secondary coordinator is decided in advance. If the coordinator is suddenly unable to perform a function, the present invention relates to a method of enabling the function of the coordinator to be performed by the decided secondary coordinator. Thus, a process for transferring the coordinating function without the handover process is called a recovery process. The present invention relates to the recovery method and a method of deciding a secondary coordinator to perform a recovery. In the method of deciding the secondary coordinator, a method of deciding a more proper coordinator using information on coordinator priority is provided.
Abstract:
A method of allocating channel resources in a wireless network is disclosed. The method of allocating instant channel resources in a wireless network includes receiving channel resource scheduling information of a specific superframe from a coordinator of the wireless network, requesting the coordinator to allocate instant channel resources for an unreserved duration of the specific superframe, and receiving an announcement message from the coordinator, the announcement message announcing allocation of the instant channel resources within the unreserved duration of the specific superframe.
Abstract:
A method of changing channels of a first device in a wireless network, which includes a first coordinator and at least one device, comprises searching whether another channel other than a first channel which is currently used in the wireless network is available, changing the first channel to a second channel among at least one or more available channels as a result of the searching step, and transmitting data to a second device or receiving data from the second device through the second channel.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods for managing a power in a wireless network communication. One of the methods provides checking whether information on a request for a mode change is received for a prescribed channel time in a manner that a device configuring a network enters a power save mode in the course of not performing data transmission/reception and that a modem enters an awake state from a sleep state for the prescribed channel time. And, the prescribed channel time is determined to correspond to a time for transmitting a beacon. According to a preferred embodiment, a modem of a device in a power save mode enters an awake state for a channel time period for broadcasting a beacon and then checks whether information on a power management mode change is received. If the information does not exist, a sleep state is reentered. If the power management mode change (PMMC) information is received, a power is managed by performing data transmission/reception in a manner of switching to a normal mode.
Abstract:
A method of exchanging messages, which are intended for streaming connection with a source device, in a sink device of a wireless network comprises transmitting a connect request message for data streaming to the source device; receiving a connect response message from the source device, the connect response message including connection information indicating the possibility of connection with the source device; and outputting a user interface indicating at least one of the connection information included in the connect response message and wait time information required for connection with the source device, on a display module.
