摘要:
A media access control method in a wireless network is provided. Each of devices in the wireless network determines one of a plurality of beacon slots within a beacon period as a beacon slot of the device. The devices in the wireless network determine a data transmission order in accordance with the slot numbers of the beacon slots of the devices in a reserved period of a data transmission period. Data is transmitted in the unreserved period in accordance with the determined data transmission order.

There are provided an apparatus and a method for establishing a contention window in a WiMedia wireless network. The contention window establishing apparatus includes: a parsing unit extracting the number of devices that intend to transmit data from a beacon received during a beacon period and an access category (AC) of each device; a calculation unit calculating a transmission probability of each access category (AC) on the basis of the extracted number of devices; and a contention window establishing unit establishing a contention window for each access category (AC) on the basis of the calculated transmission probability, to reduce contentions among the devices and decrease data transmission latency time, thereby maximizing efficiency in data transmission latency time.
摘要:
A method of reducing a retransmission of a data frame and a receiving node therefor continuously receiving N data frames generated by encoding K source data packets by erasure coding. Errors in the received N data frames are checked, and an ACK message transmitted informing that the source data packets are capable of being restored, when the number (R) of data frames not containing errors is equal to or greater than the number (K) of source data packets. An ACK message including the number (X) of data frames for which retransmission is to be requested is transmitted when the number (R) of data frames not containing errors is less than the number (K) of source data packets, as a result of checking for errors in the received N data frames. Despite errors in some of the data frames, data may be restored without requesting the retransmission of data frames.
