Method for forming super frame used for transmitting isochronous data and asynchronous data in residential Ethernet system

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for forming a super frame used for transmitting isochronous data and asynchronous data in a residential Ethernet system. The method includes the steps of receiving the isochronous data and the asynchronous data to be transmitted through the residential Ethernet system, forming an isochronous frame using the received isochronous data, forming a cycle start frame used for reporting start of the super frame, and inserting the asynchronous data into an area of an asynchronous frame by employing a remaining area as the area of the asynchronous frame, the remaining area being obtained by excluding an isochronous frame area, which includes the cycle start frame and the isochronous frame, from an area having the predetermined size.
