METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR USING A FRAME STRUCTURE FOR A WIRELESS MESH NETWORK, IN WHICH THE SCHEDULING OF MESH NODES CAN BE COMPLETED WITHIN A SHORT TIME

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for using a frame structure for a wireless mesh network are provided to transmit a network configuration information message and scheduling information for acquisition of resources with high opportunity.;CONSTITUTION: A super-frame(SU,100) is the largest unit frame used for a wireless mesh network. Nodes within an OFDMA based wireless mesh network implement communication using the super-frame for data transmission and dispersed connection control. The super-frame comprises one or more frames, one of which is a network control frame(NCF) used by the nodes and the others of which are scheduling and data frames(SDF). The frame is composed of one or more subframes(SF).;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
