Abstract
A wireless bridging method for a wireless IEEE 1394 network environment includes receiving information about IEEE 1394 devices contained in an external cluster from the external cluster, and if the information on the IEEE 1394 devices contained in the external cluster is received from the external cluster, resetting a bus of a cluster. According to the method, an effective wireless 1394 bridge supporting a conventional 1394 devices having no bridge awareness function can be implemented.
