Abstract
Disclosed are a method for media access controlling and channel time reservation system and method in distributed wireless personal area networks. A method of media access controlling for a distributed wireless network including at least one device, includes a device of the distributed wireless network, generating a data slot reservation indicator for devices of the same beacon group, and the device, broadcasting the generated data slot reservation indicator. Thus, a slot reservation for communication between devices can be completed in a shorter period of time. Also, capacity of the network can be improved by spatial reuse of channel time.
