PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable each communication station to manage connection relations to a network by a simple method in an autonomous distributed type network. SOLUTION: A beacon signal transmitted almost periodically is exchanged mutually. Address information for identifying a wireless communication device and operation state information showing the operation state of the wireless communication device are included in a beacon signal. Consequently, entry processing to the network is simplified. The communication stations each other, which reject the connection, do not execute connection information transmission at a high-order layer as a member of the network. However, the communication stations each other grasp and manage the mutual existence as a peripheral station. Disassociation processing of a communication station, which cannot receive the beacon signal, is executed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
