Wireless transmission system, wireless transmission method, and wireless communication apparatus

A wireless communication apparatus comprising:

• a reception processing unit that performs reception processing;
• a receive clock generating unit that generates a receive clock;
• a detecting unit that detects that a failure has occurred;
• and
• a notification unit that performs notification that the failure has occurred, wherein
• when the wireless communication apparatus is not selected as a wireless communication apparatus to communicate with an opposing apparatus by a selecting apparatus that selects a wireless communication apparatus to communicate with the opposing apparatus positioned opposite with a wireless transmission line therebetween,
• the detecting unit detects failure information indicating that a failure has occurred in the wireless communication apparatus communicating with the opposing apparatus from information that has been subjected to the reception processing by the reception processing unit, and
• the notification unit notifies the selecting apparatus, when the failure information is detected, that the failure has occurred in the wireless communication apparatus communicating with the opposing apparatus.

A wireless transmission method comprising:

• selecting, from a plurality of wireless communication apparatuses including a wireless communication function, a wireless communication apparatus to communicate with an opposing apparatus, the opposing apparatus being positioned opposite with a wireless transmission line therebetween;
• receiving, by a wireless communication apparatus not selected as the wireless communication apparatus to communicate with the opposing apparatus, a signal transmitted from the opposing apparatus;
• detecting failure information in the received signal, the failure information indicating that a failure has occurred in the wireless communication apparatus communicating with the opposing apparatus;
• performing notification when the failure information is detected, the notification indicating that the failure has occurred in the wireless communication apparatus communicating with the opposing apparatus;
• and
• switching, in response to the notification, the wireless communication apparatus to communicate with the opposing apparatus
