(canceled)
An electronic device forming a part of a communication system comprising:
- first processing circuitry configured to:
- receive a beacon from a counterpart device forming a part of the communication system after a beacon transmitting timing;
- wherein the communication system includes second processing circuitry configured to cause the counterpart device to set a transmitting and receiving operation as active state for a first operating period, the first operating period being a designated time period starting at the beacon transmitting timing.
A communication method performed in an electronic device forming part of a communication system, the communication method comprising:
- receiving a beacon from a counterpart device forming a part of the communication system after a beacon transmitting timing;
- wherein the communication system causes the counterpart device to set a transmitting and receiving operation as active state for a first operating period, the first operating period being a designated time period starting at the beacon transmitting timing.
A communication apparatus forming a part of a communication system, the communication apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicate with a counterpart communication apparatus;
- and
- first processing circuitry configured to
- receive a beacon from a counterpart device forming a part of the communication system after a beacon transmitting timing;
- wherein the communication system includes second processing circuitry configured to cause the counterpart device to set a transmitting and receiving operation as active state for a first operating period, the first operating period being a designated time period starting at the beacon transmitting timing.
