Abstract
Provided are a channel time allocation method and apparatus adopting the same. The channel time allocation method includes: (a) receiving a request of registering in a network from a device; (b) determining whether the network supplying a service required by the device exists; and (c) if the network supplying the requested service exists, performing a procedure of registering in the network, and if the network supplying the requested service does not exist, generating a new network. Since existing MAC protocols can be used in the channel time allocation method, an optimum service is provided in a network environment in which different kinds of services coexist.
