Patent ID: 7366418

Claim:
A high-speed WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) system, comprising: an optical fiber serving as a medium for transmitting data; a plurality of pico-nets each including a plurality of devices and a PNC (Pico-Net Coordinator) device for managing the devices; a plurality of two-way signal converters that correspond to the pico-nets, each of the two-way signal converters being adapted for converting an optical signal received from the optical fiber into an electrical signal and transmit the electrical signal to the pico-nets, and for converting an electrical signal received from each of the pico-nets into an optical signal to transmit the optical signal to the optical fiber; and a plurality of connectors attached to both the optical fiber and the two-way signal converters for transmitting signals input from the optical fiber and the signal converters bidirectionally, wherein one of the PNC devices provided in the plurality of pico-nets allocates and manages timeslots for all of the devices located in the plurality of pico-nets by logically integrating the plurality of pico-nets as a single pico-net.
