Claim:
1. A data synchronization method of a second device, the method comprising: receiving, from a first device, a plurality of first data packets associated with a first service and a plurality of second data packets associated with a second service, at least one of the plurality of first data packets and at least one of the plurality of second data packets being received at the first device during a synchronization period, one of the plurality of first data packets having a first time stamp added by the first device, and one of the plurality of second data packets having a second time stamp added by the first device; receiving, from the first device, a control frame associated with the synchronization period after the plurality of first data packets and the plurality of second data packets are received from the first device; determining a transmission period in which to transmit, to a third device, the plurality of first data packets or the plurality of second packets, based on the first time stamp, the second time stamp, and the control frame associated with the synchronization period; when the first time stamp and the second time stamp are identical and the first service is different from the second service, determining to transmit, to the third device, the plurality of first data packets and the plurality of second packets in a first transmission period; multiplexing the plurality of first data packets and the plurality of second data packets to generate a signal; and transmitting, to the third device, the signal using air resources corresponding to the first transmission period, wherein the first time stamp or the second time stamp includes an indicator associated with the synchronization period, and wherein the control frame comprises a number of the plurality of first data packets associated with the first service received at the first device during the synchronization period, a total byte number of the plurality of first data packets associated with the first service received at the first device during the synchronization period, a number of the plurality of second data packets associated with the second service received at the first device during the synchronization period, and a total byte number of the plurality of second data packets associated with the second service received at the first device during the synchronization period.
