Wireless communication apparatus and method for compensating offset using the same

1. A wireless communication apparatus comprising:

a transceiver for transmitting and receiving data packets to and from an external equipment; and

a frequency matched unit for compensating an offset due to latency that may occur during communication between the wireless communication apparatus and the external equipment by adding a clock value corresponding to predetermined frames to a clock value of a system clock if any one of a hold mode, a sniff mode, or a park mode is transited to a normal mode.

2. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the frequency matched unit includes:

a hopping frequency calculator for calculating a hopping frequency of the frames from the added value; and

a controller for compensating a frequency of the frames to the hopping frequency so that the offset is compensated.

3. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the frequency matched unit further includes an access code searcher for detecting an access code provided in the data packets, and the controller compensates the offset if the access code is detected.

4. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the frequency matched unit further includes a counter for counting the number of the frames, and the clock value corresponding to the frames is obtained from the number of the frames counted by the counter.

5. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the controller determines whether the frames have been ended if the access code is not detected, counts the frames if it is determined that the frames have not been ended, and controls the counter and the access code searcher to detect the access code.

6. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein one frame of the frames has a frame length of a FHSS system.

7. A wireless communicating method comprising the steps of:

transmitting and receiving data packets to and from an external equipment; and

compensating offset due to latency that may occur during communication between a wireless communication apparatus and the external equipment by adding a clock value corresponding to predetermined frames to a clock value of a system clock if any one of a hold mode, a sniff mode, or a park mode is transited to a normal mode.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the compensating step comprising the steps of:

calculating a hopping frequency of the frames from the added value; and

compensating a frequency of the frames to the hopping frequency so that the offset is compensated.

9. The wireless communicating method according to claim 7 , wherein the compensating step further includes the step of searching an access code provided in the data packets, and is implemented to compensate the offset if the access code is detected.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the compensating step further includes the steps of:

counting the number of the frames; and

calculating the clock value corresponding to the frames from the number of the frames counted by the counting step.

11. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising the steps of:

determining whether the frames have been ended if the access code is not detected; and

counting the frames if it is determined that the frames have not been ended to search the access code.

12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein one frame in the frames has a frame length of a FHSS system.
