Abstract
An access request to a base station or the like can be preferably performed in time division access wherein one transmission band of communication such as a wireless telephone system or the like is divided into time slots. The period of a time slot of a channel for acquiring an access right among up link channels from a terminal apparatus to a base station is made longer than the period of a time slot of other channels.
Claims35
A communication method of carrying out communication using a time slot as a unit, comprising the steps of:
- a first communication step of using a time slot having a first time length when information of a first kind is communicated;
- and
- a second communication step of using a time slot having a second time length when information of a second kind is communicated.
A communication method of communicating information between a base station and a subscriber station in a cellular system using a time slot as a unit, comprising the steps of:
- a first communicating step of using a time slot having a first time length when general information is communicated;
- and
- a second communication step of using a time slot having a second time length when communication control information is communicated.
A base station in a cellular system using a time slot as a unit upon communication to a subscriber station, comprising:
- receiving means for receiving a signal from said subscriber station;
- reception processing means for carrying out a processing by a unit of a time slot having a first time length when general information is communicated and for carrying out a processing by a unit of a time slot having a second time length, which is longer than said first time length, when communication control information is communicated;
- signal generating means for generating a signal to be transmitted to said subscriber station;
- and
- transmitting means for transmitting said signal generated by said signal generating means to said subscriber station.
A subscriber station in a cellular system using a time slot as a unit upon communication to a base station, comprising:
- reception means for receiving a signal from said base station;
- reception processing means for processing a signal received by said reception means;
- signal generating means for generating a signal formed in a unit of a time slot having a first time length when general information is communicated and for generating a signal formed in a unit of a time slot having a second time length, which is longer than said first time length, when communication control information is communicated;
- and
- transmitting means for transmitting said signal generated by said signal generating means to said base station.
