APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BROADBAND WIRELESS LOCAL AREA COMMUNICATION
First Claim
1. A method for wideband short-range wireless communication, the method comprising:
- determining a first time interval and a second time interval for a cooperated data frame transfer based on a packet transmission time at each transmission from a source node to a destination node;
transmitting a frame to a relay node through an antenna pattern directed towards the relay node at a start point of the first time interval; and
transmitting the frame to the destination node through an antenna pattern directed towards the destination node after a predetermined period of time from a start point of the second time interval.

15. A method for wideband short-range wireless communication, the method comprising:
-
receiving a frame from a source node through an antenna pattern directed towards the source node during a first time interval determined based on a packet transmission time at each transmission from the source node to a destination node in a service period assigned from an access point (AP) or a Personal basic service set Control Point (PCP); and transmitting the received frame to the destination node through an antenna pattern directed towards the destination node after a predetermined period of time from a start point of a second time interval determined based on a packet transmission time at each transmission from the source node to the destination node. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
