Mesh network configuration method for supporting ad hoc networking

A mesh network configuration method for supporting ad hoc networking is provided to effectively transmit data even when mobile terminals move fast. In a method for configuring an ad hoc network by using a MAC frame that additionally defines a mesh interval including a network control field for providing synchronization and registration information, a subscriber station serving as a mesh base station transmits a network configuration message by using the network control field. A subscriber station, which has received the mesh network configuration message, is synchronized with the mesh base station by using information included in the mesh network configuration message and registered.
