Abstract: The present disclosure provides channel sensing in an efficient manner in a cognitive radio MAC protocol and improves channel utilization. Proposed is an Adaptive Channel Sensing (ACS) for variably sensing a channel in accordance with a Fixed Channel Sensing (FCS) and a channel state so as to perform the channel sensing in an efficient manner while reducing the power consumption of a terminal. Further proposed is a self-scheduling mechanism which enables multiple terminals to simultaneously transceive data by means of a slot-based contention on the basis of the results of the FCS and ACS, which are proposed by the present disclosure.

Abstract: A home network system for supporting continuity of data transfer destined for an MS (Mobile Station) when the MS moves between wireless nodes, comprising a server for storing multimedia data and a network connecting the server to the MS via the wireless nodes. A first wireless node, while transferring predetermined data from the server to the MS, senses that a connection with the MS is cut off. The predetermined data to be transferred to the MS is then buffered in one or more of the wireless nodes at a time point of disconnection with the MS, and the first wireless node maintains a connection with the server. A second wireless node in the home network system establishes a connection with the MS and, in response a data transfer request from the MS, provides the buffered data to the MS.

Abstract: In a DBA (Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation) method for an E-PON including an OLT and ONUs, DBACNs (DBA Control Nodes) corresponding to processes in a tree algorithm are arranged in multi-level stages with the ONUs being in the lowermost stage. DBACNs or ONUs in a specific stage are connected to a DBACN from its immediately higher stage in a tree structure. A process of allowing a DBACN to collect bandwidth request information from DBACNs or ONUs in its immediately lower stage is performed sequentially from the lowermost DBACNs to the uppermost DBACN. The uppermost DBACN allocates the smaller one of a total available allocation-bandwidth and a total requested bandwidth to DBACNs in its immediately lower stage in their priority order. DBACNs, other than the uppermost DBACN, each allocate a bandwidth allocated down from a DBACN in the immediately higher stage to DBACNs or ONUs in the immediately lower stage in their priority order.
