Provided is a method of performing a routing and allocating a resource in a wireless sensor network. The method includes electing one or more cluster heads, each representing each of one or more clusters comprised of a plurality of sensor nodes, selecting a routing path between the cluster heads and the plurality of sensor nodes, selecting a frame length based on elements and distribution methods of the wireless sensor network and the routing path, forming a time slot resource allocation table for communication between the cluster heads, and exchanging the time slot resource allocation table between the cluster heads separated by one hop. The present invention can enhance the reliability of the wireless sensor network and QoS by effectively performing routing and allocating resources in such a manner that various data requirements can be satisfied.

A frequency hopping (FH) communication device and a frequency hopping method are provided. The frequency hopping communication device includes a first frequency hopping unit for receiving data to be transmitted, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulating the received data using the frequency of a subcarrier corresponding to a first frequency hopping code among the frequencies of a predetermined number of subcarriers, and outputting first frequency hopped data on which the data to be transmitted is loaded and a second frequency hopping unit for second frequency hopping the first frequency hopped data by mixing the first frequency hopped data with a carrier composed according to a second frequency hopping code. When jamming occurs, the frequency affected by jamming is restricted to a narrow bandwidth. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the influence of jamming and to easily restore data even though jamming occurs. Also, it is possible to improve the degree of concealment of data.
