<p>Disclosed are a control channel scheduling method for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (OFDMA)-based wireless mesh network, and an apparatus to perform the method. The control channel scheduling method comprises the following steps: determining, by a grant node receiving a request for resources from a request node among a plurality of nodes forming the OFDMA-based wireless mesh network, whether another grant node is present within a preset range; performing, when the other grant node is present, a mesh election to acquire an authority to transmit a grant message; and transmitting, based on a result of the performing of the mesh election, information on an allowed transmission time for the grant message or a disallowed transmission time for the grant message to the request node.</p> |
