Abstract

Provided is a method for forming a route map in a wireless 1394 bridge network. The method for forming a route map in a wireless 1394 bridge network, including the steps of: a) storing route map information; b) collecting changed bus information when a new network is formed according to addition/removal of a bridge; c) checking whether a quantity of the collected bus information exceeds a threshold; d) forming a route map having all bus information when the quantity of the collected bus information exceeds a threshold; and e) forming a route map having changed bus information when collected bus information does not exceed the threshold.

Claims

1. A method for forming a route map in a wireless 1394 bridge network, comprising the steps of:

a) storing route map information;

b) collecting changed bus information when a new network is formed according to addition/removal of a bridge;

c) checking whether a quantity of the collected bus information exceeds a threshold;

d) forming a route map having all bus information when the quantity of the collected bus information exceeds a threshold; and

e) forming a route map having changed bus information when collected bus information does not exceed the threshold.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the route map having the changed bus information includes a ‘

FORWARD’

field, a ‘

VALID’

field, and a ‘

DIRTY’

field.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the threshold is 2048 bits.
