Abstract
An apparatus and method for allocating channel time for each application in a single superframe when applications such as wireless USB and IEEE 802.2, which are implemented in a MAC layer, coexist on a wireless PAN. The apparatus includes a beacon generating module for generating a superframe; a duration adjusting module for adjusting a duration of the superframe to be a multiple of a frame of an upper application layer of a device; a channel time dividing module for comparing an allowable size of maximum CTA in the frame of the upper application layer of the device with a size of isochronous CTA of another device and dividing the CTA, if necessary; and a channel time relocating module for comparing a super-rate of CTA previously located in the superframe with a super-rate of CTA to be newly added and relocating the newly added CTA.
