Method of exchanging messages, sink device and source device
First Claim
1. A method of exchanging messages for switching source devices at a sink device in a wireless network to a source device;
- the method comprising;
receiving audio/video (A/V) data from a first source device;
transmitting a first command to a second source device within the wireless network to identify whether the second source device can transmit A/V data;
receiving a second command from the first source device, the second command being transmitted from the second source device in response to the first command and including indication information indicating whether the second source device can transmit A/V data; and
determining whether to switch A/V data from the first source device to the second source device depending on the indication information included in the second command.

Abstract
A method of exchanging messages for switching of a sink device of a wireless network to a source device comprises receiving audio/video (A/V) data from a first source device; transmitting a first command to a second source device within the wireless network to identify whether the second source device can transmit A/V data; receiving a second command from the first source device, the second command being transmitted from the second source device in response to the first command and including indication information indicating whether the second source device can transmit A/V data; and determining whether to switch to the second source device depending on the indication information included in the second command.

13. A sink device receiving A/V data from a first source device in a wireless network, the sink device comprising:
-
an audio video control (AVC) layer generating a first command including a first identifier for identifying the sink device, a second identifier for identifying a second source device, and an action code Opcode; a medium access control (MAC) layer generating a MAC message including a message preamble, a message type and the first command transferred from the AVC layer; and a physical layer generating a first physical layer data unit including an uplink control header, the MAC message and audio/video data and transferring the first physical layer data unit to the second source device, and receiving a second physical layer data unit from the first source device, the second physical layer data unit including a second command being transmitted from the second source device in response to the first command and including indication information indicating whether the second source device can transmit A/V data, wherein the sink device determines to switch A/V data from the first source device to the second source device depending on the indication information included in the second command. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A sink device for use in a wireless network, the sink device comprising:
-
a receiving module receiving a broadcasting signal from a first source device; a decoding module decoding the broadcasting signal received by the receiving module; a display module displaying contents according to the broadcasting signal decoded by the decoding module; a network control module generating a first physical layer data unit including a MAC message and transmitting the same to a second source device, the MAC message including the broadcasting signal received by the receiving module and a first command for identifying whether the second source device can transmit A/V data, and receiving a second physical layer data unit including a second command from the first source device and processing the same, the second command being transmitted from the second source device in response to the first command; and a control module controlling the sink device to switch to the second source device through the second command processed by the network control module, store the broadcasting signal received by the receiving module in a local memory device, or play contents stored in the local memory device. - View Dependent Claims (21)

22. A method of exchanging messages at a first source device for a sink device to switch source devices in a wireless network, the method comprising:
-
generating a second command including indication information in an AVC layer in response to a first command transmitted from the sink device receiving A/V data from a second source device, the indication information indicating whether the first source device can transmit A/V data; transferring a MAC message from a MAC layer to a physical layer, the MAC message including a message preamble, a message type and the second command transmitted from the AVC layer; and transmitting a physical layer data unit from the physical layer to the sink device via the second source device, the physical layer data unit including at least one header, the MAC message, and the A/V data, wherein the sink device determines to switch to the first source device depending on the indication information included in the second command.

23. A source device receiving a first command from a sink device in a wireless network, the source device comprising:
-
an AVC layer generating a second command including indication information in response to a first command transmitted from the sink device that receives A/V data from a predetermined source device, the indication information indicating whether the source device can transmit A/V data; a MAC layer configuring a MAC message and transferring the MAC message to a physical layer, the MAC message including a message preamble, a message type and the second command; and the physical layer generating a physical layer data unit and transmitting the physical layer data unit to the sink device via the predetermined source device, the physical layer data unit including at least one header, the MAC message, and the A/V data, wherein the sink device determines to switch to the source device to which the first command is transmitted depending on the indication information included in the second command.
