Abstract
Provided is a method of searching for a wireless communication device. The method includes outputting a search signal in multiple output directions; and if a response signal for the search signal is received, mapping an identifier of a wireless communication device having transmitted the response signal and information about an output direction of the search signal.
Claims37
A method of searching for a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- outputting a search signal in multiple output directions;
- and
- if a response signal for the search signal is received, mapping an identifier of the wireless communication device having transmitted the response signal and information about an output direction of the search signal.
A method of searching for a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving a search signal for searching for the wireless communication device;
- generating a response signal corresponding to the search signal;
- and
- outputting the response signal in an output direction corresponding to a reception direction of the search signal.
A method of searching for a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving a search signal for searching for the wireless communication device, the search signal having directivity;
- extracting information about an output direction from the search signal;
- generating a response signal including the extracted information about the output direction;
- and
- outputting the response signal in an omni-direction.
A wireless communication device comprising:
- a transmission/reception unit which outputs a search signal in multiple output directions and receives a response signal for the search signal;
- and
- a device information manager which maps an identifier of another wireless communication device having transmitted the response signal and information about an output direction of the search signal.
A wireless communication device comprising:
- a Media Access Control (MAC) processor which generates a response message corresponding to a search message for searching for another wireless communication device;
- and
- a transmission/reception unit which receives a search signal including the search message, provides the search message to the MAC processor, generates a response signal including the response message, and outputs the response signal in an output direction corresponding to a reception direction of the search signal.
A wireless communication device comprising:
- a Media Access Control (MAC) processor which extracts information about an output direction from a search message and generates a response message including the extracted information about output direction;
- and
- a transmission/reception unit which receives a search signal having directivity and including the search message, provides the search message to the MAC processor, generates a response signal including the response message, and outputs the response signal in an omni-direction.
