Abstract
A wireless communication system of the invention comprises a plurality of communication stations decentralized-autonomously construct a network without having a relation between a control station and a station to be controlled under a communication circumstance where a plurality of channels are prepared. In this case, each of the communication stations prepares a plurality of operation modes for activating transmitting and receiving operations, informs the own operation mode, and receives information regarding operation modes of peripheral stations to manage its operation mode of each of the peripheral stations.
Claims15
A wireless communication system comprising:
- a plurality of communication stations decentralized-autonomously construct a network without having a relation between a control station and a station to be controlled under a communication circumstance where a plurality of channels are prepared, wherein;
- each of said communication stations prepares a plurality of operation modes for activating transmitting and receiving operations, informs the own operation mode, and receives information regarding operation modes of peripheral stations to manage its operation mode of each of the peripheral stations.
A wireless communication apparatus decentralized-autonomously operating under a wireless communication environment where a control station is not existed comprising:
- communication means for transmitting/receiving wireless data;
- operation mode setting means for providing a plurality of operation modes that make transmitting/receiving operation active and setting an operation mode of a transmitting/receiving operation of own station;
- control means for controlling the transmitting/receiving operation by said communication means depending on the operation mode set by said operation mode setting means;
- informing means for informing information relating to the operation mode of the own station to the peripheral stations;
- and
- peripheral station operation information management means for managing information relating to the operation mode informed from the peripheral stations at every peripheral station.
A wireless communication method for decentralized-autonomously operating under a wireless communication environment where a control station is not existed comprising:
- operation mode setting step for providing a plurality of operation modes that make transmitting/receiving operation active and setting an operation mode of a transmitting/receiving operation of own station;
- control step for controlling the transmitting/receiving operation depending on the operation mode set by said operation mode setting step;
- informing step for informing information relating to the operation mode of the own station to the peripheral stations;
- and
- peripheral station operation information management step for managing information relating to the operation mode informed from the peripheral stations at every peripheral station.
