METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CHANNEL TIME RESERVATION IN DISTRIBUTED WIRELESS PERSONAL AREA NETWORK, AND MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for channel time reservation in a distributed WPAN.

SOLUTION: Disclosed are a channel time reservation system and a method, and a data slot reservation method for transmitting data in a medium access control for a WPAN for a mobile ad-hoc wireless personal area networks. A reservation conflict which may occur during a data slot reservation process can be detected and solved. For this purpose, the system exchanges various types of signals. Thus, a slot reservation for communication between devices can be completed in a shorter period of time. Also, the capacity of the network can be improved by the spatial reuse of a channel time.
