APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BROADBAND WIRELESS LOCAL AREA COMMUNICATION

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for performing broadband wireless local area communication using a directional antenna in a millimeter wave band. The method for broadband wireless local area communication according to one embodiment of the present invention determines a first time interval and a second time interval for a cooperated data frame transfer by taking a packet transmission time from a source node to a target node into account, and transmits, at the starting point of the first time interval, a frame to a relay node via an antenna pattern directed to the relay node, and transmits the frame to the target node via an antenna pattern directed to the target node, after an elapse of a predetermined time from the starting point of the second time interval.
