Channel allocation method between heterogeneous wireless networks and wireless network apparatus providing the same

摘要

A wireless network apparatus and method for performing channel allocation between heterogeneous wireless networks is provided. The wireless network apparatus includes a first ultra wide band (UWB) interface module that transmits and receives a frame compliant with a first UWB communication format; a second UWB interface module that transmits and receives a frame compliant with a second UWB communication format; and a channel time adjustment module that generates a transmission frame having channel allocation information, which is contained in a frame received through the first UWB interface module, reflected thereon and transmits the generated transmission frame through the second UWB interface module. The method includes receiving a frame compliant with a first ultra wide band (UWB) communication format; generating a transmission frame having channel allocation information reflected thereon; and transmitting the generated transmission frame according to a second UWB communication format.
