First Claim
Patent Images
1. A wireless communication method comprising:
- generating a bandwidth request packet requesting an allocation of a channel time from a coordinator of a wireless network; and
wirelessly transmitting the bandwidth-request packet,wherein the bandwidth request packet comprises;
information regarding a data output mode to be utilized at the channel time;
information regarding whether a request to allocate paired channel time blocks of the channel time is requested, the allocation of the paired channel time blocks being that the channel time blocks in a single schedule of the channel time are used for a plurality of stations; and
information regarding whether a static channel time, which is a channel time that is present at a same position in a plurality of superframes, or a dynamic channel time, which is a channel time that is not fixedly located in the plurality of superframes, is requested.
