APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING MEDIUM ACCESS SLOT IN WIRELESS PERSONAL AREA NETWORK

摘要

Provided are an apparatus and method for managing a Medium Access Slot (MAS) in a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN). The apparatus includes a transmission data storage unit for storing a transmission beacon and transmission data; a transmission controller for reading and transferring the transmission beacon to a transmission beacon control signal, and reading the transmission data and transferring it at a corresponding MAS; a transmission beacon parser for parsing the transmission beacon; an MAS allocation unit for comparing the reservation information with queue allocation information of an allocation queue list to allocate MAS; and a superframe controller for generating the transmission beacon control signal, and generating the data transmission/reception control signal at the start time of the MAS allocated by the MAS allocation unit.
