Provided is an apparatus and method for allocating a synchronous time slot of a low-power wireless personal area network (WPAN) that allocates and controls a time slot based on synchronization in the low-power WPAN. A method of allocating a time slot by a communication node may minimize energy consumption and processing load associated with a message exchange since access to and release from a network may be possible without exchanging a message for controlling access between a coordinator and a device, may access a device in motion within a coordinator region by minimizing accessing time, and may enhance utilization of a time slot by optimally distributing links for accessing devices to available time slots uniformly using information of device global IDs. |
