Method for communicating effectively between devices on wireless personal area network
First Claim
1. A method for communicating between a plurality of devices on a wireless personal area network (PAN) within an allocated channel time, comprising:
- (a) filling a media access control (MAC) frame with at least one body frame including upper layer data to be transmitted to reduce an empty space remaining in the MAC frame;
(b) recording fragment information in each of the at least one body frame, wherein the fragment information indicates whether the body frame is a last complete frame or has a remaining fragmented body frame; and
(c) extracting the upper layer data from each of the at least one body frame existing in the transmitted MAC frame and transmitting the extracted upper layer data to the upper layer based on the fragment information.

Abstract
A method for communicating effectively between devices on a wireless personal area network (PAN) within an allocated channel time, includes (a) filling a MAC frame with body frame(s) including upper layer data of a MAC layer to be transmitted such that no empty space remains in the MAC frame, (b) recording fragment information in each body frame, wherein the fragment information indicates whether the body frame is the last complete frame or has a remaining fragmented frame, and (c) extracting the upper layer data from the body frame existing in the transmitted MAC frame and transmitting the extracted upper layer data to the upper layer based on the fragment information.
