A method for communication between first and second coordinator-based wireless networks connected through a backbone network is provided. The method includes receiving a frame indicating data transmission containing information needed for remote channel time allocation (CTA) from a repeater connecting the second coordinator-based wireless network with the backbone network, sending a remote CTA frame in order for the repeater to request CTA from the coordinator within the second coordinator-based wireless network, and receiving a data frame originated from the first coordinator-based wireless network and then provided by the repeater during assigned channel time.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for requesting channel time allocation in a coordinator-based network. The apparatus includes a controller generating a packet requesting channel time allocation required for reception of data from the coordinator and a transceiver that sends the generated packet to the coordinator. The packet includes information identifying that the device sending the packet is the device receiving the data.

A method of retransmitting a data frame and a network apparatus using the method are provided. In the method performed in a wireless network, a first network apparatus transmits a data frame requesting a response frame. A second network apparatus determines a type of response frame according to a reception mode of the data frame. The second network apparatus transmits the determined type of response frame to the first network apparatus. The first network apparatus retransmits the data frame according to the type of the response frame transmitted to the first network apparatus.
摘要:
A method of providing services between network devices is provided. The method includes transmitting a service announcement request from a network device; checking service compatibility between the network device that transmitted the service announcement request and a network device that has transmitted a service announcement response, when at least one service announcement response is received in response to the service announcement request; detecting a common service that can be commonly used between the network device and a network device which has service compatibility with the network device; and providing a user with information on available services that can be commonly used between the network devices based on the detected common service.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for bi-directionally exchanging data within an allocated channel time by improving the MAC (Media Access Control) of devices operating on a wireless PAN (Personal Area Network). The method of the present invention comprises the steps of (1) generating a channel time request frame containing directional information to determine whether data transmission is unidirectional or bi-directional, and transmitting the channel time request frame to a device responsible for channel time allocation; (2) generating a frame containing channel time allocation information including the directional information based on the information contained in the channel time request frame, and broadcasting the generated frame; and (3) exchanging data between first and second devices, which are designated as source and destination devices in the frame containing the channel time allocation information, during a predetermined channel time in accordance with the directional information.
