Method for channel searching in a medical body area network

摘要

Provided is a method for channel searching for enabling a medical body area network (MBAN) terminal, which operates in an allocated frequency band, to use another frequency band. The method may comprise the steps of receiving an identifier of a specific channel group, from among a plurality of channel groups, from an MBAN coordinator in the allocated frequency band; and searching for a channel in a channel group relating to the received identifier of the channel group in a different frequency band. The identifier of the channel group indicates a channel group including channels that the terminal preferentially searches for in the other frequency band.

1. A method for channel searching for enabling a medical body area network (MBAN) user equipment, which operates at an allocated frequency bandwidth, to use another frequency bandwidth, the method comprising:
operating in a first frequency bandwidth moved from a second frequency bandwidth; receiving an identifier of a specific channel group, among a plurality of channel groups of the first frequency bandwidth, from an MBAN coordinator; and searching for channels in the specific channel group before searching for other channels not included in the specific channel group at the first frequency bandwidth, based on the identifier, wherein, if an available channel for the MBAN user equipment does not exist in the specific channel group, the MBAN user equipment searches for channels of the first frequency bandwidth, which are continuously contiguous to a channel currently in service.
