An apparatus for generating a device address of a wireless local network includes an alien beacon determination unit which determines whether a received beacon is an alien beacon; a zone identity management unit which compares an alien zone identity included in the received beacon with a zone identity of a corresponding device if the received beacon is the alien beacon, and regenerates the zone identity of the corresponding device if the alien zone identity is identical to the zone identity of the corresponding device; and a device address generation unit which regenerates a device address of the corresponding device if a device address of an alien beacon group is identical to the device address of the corresponding device.

Method and apparatus for generating device address of wireless local network

A method of operating a wireless universal serial bus (USB) apparatus and the wireless USB apparatus using the same. The method including: receiving operation state information from a neighboring wireless USB apparatus in a beacon period (BP); the wireless USB apparatus, which is operating as a host in a first cluster by using the operation state information, identifying a distributed reservation protocol (DRP) corresponding to a second cluster; and the wireless USB apparatus, which is operating as the host in the first cluster, participating in the second cluster as a device by transmitting and receiving data in the DRP corresponding to the second cluster. Accordingly, the wireless USB apparatus which operates as a host may participate in a neighboring WUSB cluster as a device.
