1. A method for transmitting and receiving frames of a MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol layer module that processes data frames and control frames transferred from a MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) protocol layer module in a station that receives frames transmitted through a MANET including a plurality of stations, the method comprising the steps of:

  • (1) distinguishing between control frames and data frames when analyzing frames transferred from the MANET protocol layer module;

    (2) providing the control frames with a higher priority than the data frames, thereby enabling the control frames to preempt a medium earlier than the data frames; and

    (3) transmitting the control frames and the data frames in an order according to their respective priorities.
