ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting data more efficiently between stations in a power line communication (PLC) network while preventing a hidden node problem. The method of transmitting data includes: detecting a hidden node in a network; and transmitting at least one of a request to send (RTS) command and a clear to send command (CTS) to the network before transmitting the data, if a hidden node is detected and a transmitting station a data packet having a size which is larger than a predetermined size. Using the method, interference of data transmissions and a low data throughput caused by the hidden node problem should be prevented.
