Abstract
In a short distance wireless communication method, an originating communication terminal establishes a Personal Area Network based on a beacon, a receiving communication terminal connects to the Personal Area Network established by the originating communication terminal, and a short distance wireless communication between the originating communication terminal and receiving communication terminal is carried out based on a contention service channel resource in the Personal Area Network. A communication range of short distance wireless communication can be increased without increasing power consumption and while maintaining battery life of the communication terminal.
Claims18
A method for short range wireless communication, comprising the steps of:
- establishing, by an originating communication terminal, a beacon-based Personal Area Network(PAN);
- joining, by a receiving communication terminal, in the PAN established by the originating communication terminal;
- and
- performing short range wireless communication between the originating communication terminal and the receiving communication terminal based upon contention of a service channel resource in the PAN.
A communication terminal, comprising:
- a PAN establishment unit adapted to establish a beacon-based PAN;
- a joining permission processing unit adapted to process the joining of another communication terminal in the PAN;
- a channel resource contention unit adapted to contend with the other communication terminal for a service channel resource in the PAN;
- and
- a communication unit adapted to perform short range wireless communication with the other communication terminal based upon the service channel resource obtained by the channel resource contention unit through contention.
