摘要:
In wireless communication with another communication apparatus in a predetermined wireless network, overhead information defined in a media access control layer is divided into a header of information necessary for the common access control and a header of information necessary for each payload. Address information is added to the header of information necessary for the common access control in order to transmit the generated header attached to the transmission data. In the case of forming a physical burst in which a plurality of data payloads are combined into one, a frame structure is provided without needless repetition of address information.

A power exchange device includes: a connection portion that is connected to another device; a wireless communication portion that performs wireless communication with a power exchange device in the vicinity; a power exchange portion that exchanges power with the power exchange device in the vicinity; a power management portion that causes the power exchanged by the power exchange portion to be input and output between the connection portion and the other device; and a power control portion that, after the wireless communication portion has performed the wireless communication with the power exchange device in the vicinity, controls whether to cause the power exchange portion to exchange power with the power exchange device in the vicinity depending on a power source state of the other device.

A wireless communication device in a wireless network sets management information notification cycles at specified time intervals and transmits management information containing receive timing information showing its own position to start receiving information, receive window information, and receive cycle information. Another wireless communication device receiving that management information links it to a communication device number for the corresponding wireless communication device and stores the receive timing, the receive window information, and the receive cycle information. When sending information, the receive start position of the corresponding communication device is found from the receive timing information, the receive window information and the receive cycle information of the other communication device and information is then transmitted at that timing. An asynchronous ad-hoc communication wireless network can therefore be configured without a particular control station.

A radio communication device which manages a network defines a predetermined transmission frame cycle, allocates in the frame specific access slots as timing with which the individual radio communication devices in the network concerned receive a transmission, puts the information of the allocation in a beacon signal, and transmits the signal. Each radio communication device performs receiving operation at access slots specific to the device itself defined by the beacon signal. When information transmission is made between arbitrary communication devices in the network, access slots for the device which is to receive the information are used.

A collision of data transmitted in an ad hoc network in which a communication system such as a wireless LAN system is managed without a master control station is minimized. A communication station in the network estimates a time at which a neighboring station will transmit a signal and, when a communication start request is received from some other communication station, adds time information, generated based on the length of time to the estimated time, to a response to the communication start request. This allows the reception side communication station, which knows in advance that the transmission will be occupied by a transmission from other communication stations, to cause the transmission side communication station to transmit data at a time other than that occupation time.
摘要:
A system for wireless communication having a region for asynchronous information transmission and a region for information transmission. The system uses channel time allocation for storing data in a data transmission buffer and initially transmitting information via asynchronous communication. When an amount of data stored in the buffer exceeds a predetermined value, the system transmits information via channel time allocation communication. The predetermined value is obtained by dividing overall bandwidth of the asynchronous information region by a number of wireless communication stations forming a network. When no data is stored in the buffer during channel time allocation, an allocated channel time is released.
摘要:
An own-group storage area in which beacon information concerning a group of the own device is stored and an other-groups storage area in which beacon information concerning other groups different from the group of the own device is stored are allocated to a memory area of a wireless communication device in a network. The wireless communication device includes storage means for storing the beacon information concerning the other groups in the own-group storage area and the other-groups storage area in the same structure as that of the beacon information concerning the group of the own device.
摘要:
A radio transmission apparatus and a radio transmission method for readily controlling retransmission timing presets a frame cycle for retransmission, and transmits only packets for which no acknowledgement of receipt has been received within the frame cycle as a reply from a receiving apparatus to a transmitting apparatus. Thus, timing for retransmission can be readily determined. Also, the retransmission timing is determined based on when a packet is actually transmitted. Therefore, multiple acknowledgements of receipt can be returned as a combined reply.

A wireless transmission method is provided in which a wireless network is constructed by a plurality of wireless transmission apparatus, a predetermined wireless transmission band is reserved and data is transmitted by radio. According to the wireless transmission method an allowable transmission error rate can be anticipated, whereby information transmission based on the unnecessary reservation of a wireless transmission band can be removed. In a wireless transmission method in which a wireless network is constructed by a plurality of wireless transmission apparatus, a predetermined wireless transmission band is reserved and data is transmitted by radio, a desired quality in a wireless transmission is selected by an arbitrary wireless transmission apparatus of a plurality of wireless transmission apparatus and a necessary wireless transmission band is reserved.
