14. An apparatus for retransmitting wireless peer packets, installed in a first wireless slave device, comprising:
a processing unit, arranged to receive a media packet that is originally sent by a wireless master device to a second wireless slave device through a radio frequency module in a peer-side time period; and transmit the media packet in a medium through the radio frequency module in the peer-side time period to relay the media packet originated by the wireless master device to the second wireless slave device while a retransmission mechanism is activated between the wireless master device and the second wireless slave device for retransmitting, by the wireless master device, the media packet in the medium in a transmission slot that is overlapping with the peer-side time period,
wherein the wireless master device and the first wireless slave device transmit the same media packet in the medium in the same time period, the wireless master device is a source device for the media packet, and the first wireless slave device is operated as an overlapping-relay device between the wireless master device and the second wireless slave device for the media packet,
wherein the first wireless slave device and the second wireless slave device are mutually peer devices,
wherein the peer-side time period indicates a time period that is originally used by the second wireless slave device communicating with the wireless master device.
