Abstract: A control target device receives, from a control point device connected to a first network, a message for requesting movement to a second network. The control target device transmits a network movement advertising message to the control point device of the first network. The control target device disconnects from the first network and accesses the second network. The control point device collects device information on a plurality of control target devices connected to a plurality of networks. When a network of one control target device selected from the plurality of control target devices is different from a network of the control point device, the control point device accesses the network of the selected control target device.

Abstract: A method of channel assessment and channel searching in a wireless network is disclosed. The wireless network separately performs a channel assessment procedure and a channel searching procedure for channel change or another object. The channel assessment procedure is to measure a status or quality of a channel which is currently used in the wireless network. A coordinator of the wireless network designates a time interval for the channel assessment to notify other device of it. The channel assessment procedure may be performed periodically, and is preferably scheduled to allow other devices not to use the channel for the time interval which at least one device performs channel assessment.
