METHOD FOR COLLISION AVOIDANCE IN WIRELESS NETWORKS AND APPARATUS FOR THE SAME

摘要

A collision avoidance method and an apparatus thereof in a wireless network are provided. The collision avoidance method in the wireless network includes receiving first data from a source node, determining whether a history in which data has been previously received from the source node is present, and determining a data transmission period of the source node based on the history when the history is present, and the data transmission period is calculated when data is received from the source node. Accordingly, a collision probability can be reduced in an environment in which wireless data is periodically transmitted in a CSMA/CA manner.
