DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING AN AD-HOC NETWORK OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF TERMINALS, ESPECIALLY FOR ENABLING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A WIRELESS LAN TERMINAL AND A BLUETOOTH TERMINAL

摘要

PURPOSE: A device and a method for constructing an ad-hoc network of different kinds of terminals are provided to relay different kinds of terminals which are unable to communicate with each other, thereby enabling communication between the different terminals, consequently an ad-hoc network where different kinds of terminals can freely communicate with each other is constructed. CONSTITUTION: The first connection unit(51) connects different kinds of mixed terminals where different kinds of mixed protocol stacks are mounted with the first terminal(1) where the first protocol stack is mounted. The second connection unit(52) connects the different kinds of the mixed terminals with the second terminal(3) where the second protocol stack is mounted. The first different kind of terminal communicating unit(53) receives the first data packet from the connected first terminal(1), converts the first protocol stack packet format of the first data packet into the second packet format if an address recorded in a destination address field included in the first data packet is not for the different kinds of the mixed terminals, and transmits the converted first data packet to the connected second terminal(3).
