METHOD FOR TRANSCEIVING DATA IN COORDINATOR-BASED WIRELESS NETWORK AND WIRELESS NETWORK DEVICE EMPLOYING THE SAME

摘要

A method for transceiving data in a coordinator-based wireless network and a wireless network device employing the same are provided. The method for transmitting data in a coordinator-based wireless network, includes providing data to be transmitted to another wireless network device in the coordinator-based wireless network, providing a Media Access Control (MAC) frame containing the data and type information indicating the type of the data and conforming to a protocol for the coordinator-based wireless network, and transmitting the MAC frame to the other wireless network via a wireless medium. The method enables inter-operation between an MAC layer and a layer above the MAC layer by specifying type information in an MAC frame.
