COMMUNICATION METHOD AND FRAME STRUCTURE FOR A COORDINATOR DEVICE, SOURCE DEVICE AND RELAY DEVICE IN A WIRELESS SYSTEM

摘要

Provided is a communication method of a coordinator in a wireless networks system that uses a reservation-based media access control (MAC). The communication method includes receiving, from a source device, a frame that requests a reservation resource for a relay device, to enable a frame that the source device transmits to a destination device to be relayed via the relay device, and allocating the reservation resource for the relay device, in response to the request.
