Method of transferring a TCP stream in PAN
First Claim
1. A method of transferring a TCP stream in a Personal Area Network (PAN) synchronized with a synchronous signal broadcasted from a coordinator, comprising:
- transmitting to the coordinator, via a first device at a sending side desiring to send the TCP stream among plural devices linked to the PAN, a channel time request command including information that a stream to be used is a TCP stream to request a channel time allocation;
allocating, via the coordinator by referring to the channel time request command, a channel time corresponding to the channel time requested by the first device;
inserting information on the allocated channel time into the synchronous signal broadcast to the first device and a second device at a receiving side; and
transmitting the TCP data from the first device to the second device and transmitting a TCP acknowledgement (ACK) from the second device to the first device upon receipt of the TCP data, the transmitting and receiving being in the allocated channel time inserted into the synchronous signal.

8. A method of decreasing transmission delay of a TCP stream in a network, comprising:
-
requesting a channel time allocation by transmitting to a coordinator a channel time request command which includes information that a stream to be transmitted is a TCP stream;
allocating a channel time corresponding to the channel time requested based on the channel time request command;
inserting information on the allocated channel time into a synchronous signal broadcast from a coordinator; and
transmitting the TCP stream and a TCP acknowledgement (ACK) in the allocated channel time inserted into the synchronous signal. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
