Abstract:
1. A direct link protocol (DLP) station, comprising: a channel-switching module which switches a channel by writing a new channel number in a DLP request frame; a mode-switching module which switches a DLP mode by writing a new mode number in the DLP request frame in which the new channel number is written by the channel-switching module; and a media access control (MAC) frame-generating module for generating various MAC frames including the DLP request frame in which the new channel number and the new mode number are written, wherein the MAC frame-generating module comprises: a DLP request frame-generating module for generating the DLP request frame; a DLP response frame-generating module for generating a DLP response frame in response to the DLP request frame; and a MAC data frame-generating module for generating a MAC frame containing data to be sent to said other stations.
