A generative adversarial networks-based or GAN-based method for learning cross-domain relations is disclosed. A provided architecture includes two coupled GANs: a first GAN learning a translation of images from domain A to domain B, and a second GAN learning a translation of images from domain B to domain A. A loop formed by the first GAN and the second GAN causes sample images to be reconstructed into an original domain after being translated into a target domain. Therefore, loss functions representing reconstruction losses of the images may be used to train generative models.

A wireless network includes a current coordinator, at least one device which is currently associated with the wireless network, and a device selected as a new coordinator among the at least one device by the current coordinator. The current coordinator transmits a handover request message to the new coordinator; receives a handover response message in response to the handover request message from the new coordinator, the handover response message including a reason code field that is set to 'success'; and broadcasts one or more beacons, each beacon including identification information which identifies the new coordinator and number information which indicates a number of remaining beacons that the current coordinator will broadcast before a handover occurs. The number information included in a last beacon among the one or more beacons is set to '0,' and the new coordinator broadcasts a beacon after receiving the last beacon from the current coordinator.

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.
