An access pointer for interconnecting a power line communication (PLC)
network of a home network and a wireless network and a method therefor
are provided. When data is received from the PLC network through media
access control of a data link layer, data on upper layers above a network
layer in the received data is converted into a format suitable to a
wireless network layer. The converted data is transmitted to the wireless
network through the media access control of the data link layer.
Accordingly, the PLC network and the wireless network are easily
interconnected.
