Abstract
A method and an apparatus for communication between peer devices in which a cyclic-superframe including a plurality of superframes is used are provided. The method may include: receiving a discovery request command frame including information about a first cyclic-superframe for a peering period at an active contention access period (CAP) of the plurality of superframes; transmitting, to a peer device that has transmitted the discovery request command frame, a discovery response command frame corresponding to the discovery request command frame; and performing the peering period with the peer device based on the first cyclic-superframe.
