Short range wireless communication is provided. A first node included in a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) communicates with at least one neighboring second node. The first node transmits or receives data to or from at least one device node connected to the first node during a time division communication period, using a super-frame in which the time division communication period, a time division schedule advertisement message transmission period, and a Contention Access Period (CAP) are sequentially arranged. The first node broadcasts a time division schedule advertisement message of the first node to the at least one second node during the time division schedule advertisement message transmission period within the super-frame. Upon receiving a time division schedule advertisement message from the second node during the CAP within the super-frame, the first node adjusts a data transmission or reception time for the at least one device node connected to the first node using the received time division schedule advertisement message. |
