Abstract
A method and a system for operating a Mutual Broadcast Period (MBP) and Contention Access Period (CAP) for load control are provided. The proposed system and method is suitable for a short-range communication environment such as communication environment in or around the human body, and is for a mesh network communication environment in which one piconet is formed around the human body or a plurality of devices are connected. When signals carrying biometric information are periodically received from a plurality of sensor devices for medical purposes, the system and method may achieve efficient resource access by performing load control in a distributed manner, contributing to a reduction in access delay and power consumption and enabling appropriate QoS control.
