Provided is a method of subscribing, by a terminal, to a network as a router or an end device in a wireless network (WN) having a tree structure including routers and end devices. Each router receives, from a parent router thereof, addresses which are usable independently for child routers and child end devices thereof, and classifies the addresses into a general address and a special address. A terminal wishing to subscribe to a network may subscribe to the network by using a special address of an end device, only when the terminal is unable to subscribe to the network by using a general address of the end device, thereby reducing depletion of addresses to be used for terminal subscription and facilitating network subscription of the end device.
A method of constructing, in a distributed manner, a tree-structured wireless network (WN) comprising routers and end devices, where a router is a network device that can have child devices and an end devices is a network device that cannot have any child device, wherein a network device requests a router for network subscription as a child device after receiving a beacon signal transmitted from neighboring routers, which contains network synchronization and networking information, and the router accepts network subscription of the network device by allocating the network device an address in an address space allocated to the router for subscription of child devices, the method comprising:
