PACKET ROUTING APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE: A packet routing apparatus and a method thereof are provided to minimize power consumption of each node in case each node of sensor network relays a data packet. CONSTITUTION: A transceiving unit(210) receives RTS(Request To Send) signal transmitted from a first node. A control unit(230) generates a CTS signal corresponding to the RTS signal. The control unit transmits the CTS signal to the first node through the transceiving unit. A determining unit(220) determines whether a data packet is routed to a destination node of the data packet.
