Abstract:
1. A wireless communication apparatus for transmitting and receiving data wirelessly with a counterpart wireless communication apparatus in an ad hoc network, comprising: a transmitting portion arranged for transmitting data to the counterpart wireless communication apparatus through a plurality of frequency channels; and a controller arranged to confirm the characteristics of data for transmission, divide the data into a number of pieces of data according to the data characteristics, allot the data to a predetermined number of channels, first transmit the data to a counterpart wireless communication apparatus, subsequently determine whether the counterpart wireless communication apparatus receives the data through the respective channels, to thereby obtain the number of transmittable channels to the counterpart wireless communication apparatus for communication, and transmit the data according to the obtained number transmittable frequency channels, wherein when the data for transmission is real-time data, the controller divides the data into grades to grade basic information for utilization of the real-time data for the highest level, allots the grades from the basic channel to additional channels according to the grades, and when the data for transmission is non-real-time data, the controller simply divides the data into a plurality of pieces of data, and allots the data to the plurality of frequency channels.
