1. A method for transmitting data based on OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), the method comprising the steps of:
forming a plurality of packets suitable for a selected transmission mode from data input to a transmitter;
determining a transfer rate of the data and required quality of service;
when a data transfer rate is determined to be low and a synchronous connection oriented link should be maintained, dividing each of the packets into a plurality of divided sub-packets, wherein a power supply duration of the transmitter is reduced from a transmission end time of each of the divided sub-packets to a transmission start time of a next sub-packet; and
transmitting the divided sub-packets, wherein when the divided sub-packets are transmitted, the power supply duration of the transmitter is reduced.
