| 20100124238 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FORMING SUPERFRAME FOR QoS AND MULTIPLE LINK CONNECTIONS IN LOW-RATE WIRELESS NETWORK - Provided is a method and apparatus for forming a superframe in a low-rate wireless personal area network. The structure of an IEEE 802.15.4 superframe is extended to support QoS by increasing the number of GTSs and to minimize waste of a bandwidth through the precise resource reservation although the SO value increases. Thus, since more efficient resource reservation is available compared to an existing IEEE 802.15.4 and the number of GTSs to be assigned is increased to a maximum of 127, simultaneous multiple link connections to more number of devices are available. | 05-20-2010 |
