Abstract
A method and an apparatus for communication between a coordinator-based wireless network and a different type of network interconnected through a wired backbone network by means of a wired/wireless connecting device are disclosed. In the method, in order to communicate with a network device connected to a different type of network other than a coordinator-based wireless network, a network device in the coordinator-based wireless network provides a frame containing type information on the different type of network and information on a length of a physical address supported by the different type of network, and a wireless/wired connecting device converts the frame of the coordinator-based wireless network to another type of frame supported by the different type of network, and transmits the converted frame.
